The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

This sounds very much like the Whitelist scenario (connected to another 
message going on currently related to a Modlist).  We created a whitelist.txt 
in the search_filters, then use scenari/send.include.header to prepend a test 
that checks for members of the whitelist, and gives an OK response if so.  
There is an associated modlist (for moderation) as well; and we have a list 
custom action that allows the lists to be maintained via the web interface.

In your case, the list would have a whitelist with a single address (the 
nagios email sender).

Another way to do it would be to make the nagios email sender a list member, 
but with 'conceal' and 'nomail' options.  Then allow list members to post; or 
even make it a conceal/nomail moderator and only allow moderators to post, 
though that might have security implications.

Yet another way to do it would be to make a custom posting scenario for the 
list itself, that simply allows the one explicit email sender.

Sympa follows the UNIX way of doing things in that it provides many different 
ways to do the same thing.  As long as you don't try to do all of them at 
once then you won't get into a mess :)

Subject: [sympa-users] How to allow posting by only one e-mail address?

Hi!

I would like to set up a Sympa mailing list for distributing Nagios
service messages to a group of people.
The list should allow posting from only one mail address, which is not
a subscriber itself.
I went through the scenarios but I can't find somethgin suitable.

Has anyone set this up?

Many thanks!!
