The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Widerski, Betty" <address@concealed>]

Frank,

More detail about Gerard's solution:

In order for it to work you must have a send.  scenari that includes 
permissions for subscribers to send. There may be a default one, but we use 
our own self-created ones. For example: in /etc/sympa/scenery we have " 
send.closed_post_nonsub_bounce" which looks like

title.gettext restricted to subscribers & auth posters, messages from others 
are bounced 

is_subscriber([listname],[sender])             smtp,dkim,smime,md5    -> do_it
is_editor([listname],[sender])                 smtp,dkim,smime,md5    -> do_it
is_owner([listname],[sender])                  smtp,dkim,smime,md5    -> do_it
true()                                         smtp,dkim,md5,smime    -> 
reject(reason='send_subscriber')

This says "if the sender is a list subscriber, a list moderator, or the list 
owner, allow posting; anyone else reject the post with a message saying "only 
subscribers may post". You could also silently reject by not including 
"(reason='send_subscriber')"

This specific send scenari can then be selected as Gerard says.

Assuming that you use the Sympa webui and that you have a fairly recent 
version, log in to the webui, select the list and then:
Admin -> Edit list config -> Who can send messages and choose from the 
various scenarios you'll find there.
Best regards,
