The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

I can think of four ways to achieve this.

1.  Add the email address as a list subscriber, but with the 'nomail'
distribution method. This way - provided list subscribers can post! - it can
send to the list, but will not receive anything.
2. Add the email address as a list editor, but with 'conceal' and 'nomail'.
This will let it post, but not receive any notifications.  This is not very
secure, though.
3. Use a customised Send scenario, that does an explicit test for the sender
email address and allows posting.
4. Use  Whitelists !

We use (4).  To do this, you create a file in your Sympa directory
Sympa/scenari/include.send.header:

title.gettext Process whitelist and modlist, if they exist
search(modlist.txt)   smtp,smime -> editorkey,quiet
search(whitelist.txt) smtp,smime -> do_it

Then, create two empty files, sympa/search_filters/modlist.txt and
Sympa/search_filters/whitelist.txt

Now everything is testing against the global whitelist and modlist.  In your
list directory,  list_data/mylist/search_filters/whitelist.txt you can add
the email address to whitelist and it will be whitelisted for just that
mailing list.

Here, I have a couple of web_tt2 templates and a TT2 lib module that allow
editing of these white/modlists via the standard web interface.  See here:
