The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["McLaren, Terry" <address@concealed>]

We solved this in a couple of ways.

 

1.  Installed the modlist/whitelist plugin, https://www.sympa.community/manual/customize/template-plugins-modwhitelist.html.   

2.  Updated the send scenario to accept email from another list.  E.g. safe-sender list

 

Attached is a doc I wrote up for our listmasters and owners a while back.   Feel free to ping me if you have questions, comments or suggestions.

Subject: [en@sympa] permanently allowing a user to post in a moderated maillist

 

dear Sympa people,

 

I have two questions (requests?) for you:

 

*1 remember positive answers

 

I have setup several maillists that are moderated for non-subscribers (what you call privateOrEditorKey)

 

when I have to allow or drop/reject an incoming mail from a non-subscribed sender, I get the option (in the relevant web page) to permanently ban the sender. I miss the option to permanently allow the sender because I get a lot of that too (I had this option when I was using mailMan and I think it is more useful than its negation you have in sympa)

 

Is there any way to permanently add a sender address as "accepted"? (I don't mean only via web; editing by hand a config file or a database table are methods I could live with)

 

*2 intra-domain trust

 

most of my maillists are of the same domain, people are usually subscribed on a small number of these, but occasionally mail the other groups and their mails delay until I can allow them. Is there a way to put in effect a rule saying If the sender to address@concealed is a subscriber to address@concealed then the mail should be automatically accepted?

 

 

thanks for any answer, kind thanks for your awesome software and have a nice holiday vacation!
