The attached patch is against a 2.1.8a1 installed base
(installed because it patches Defaults.py and not
Defaults.py.in). It is a modification and extension of the
original patch. It implements a new list attribute
'subscribe_auto_approval' which is a list of email addresses
and regular expressions matching email addresses whose
subscriptions are exempt from admin approval. It implements
the original intent if one just uses regexps that match domains.

This will go in Mailman 2.2, but it would be nice to get
some feedback from people who are interested in this feature
and are willing to try the patch.

Is this still necessary with Mailman 2.1, which has more
'automatic' options (as well as 'memberadaptors') ? In any
case, the patch is likely heavily out of date by now, I'm
moving this to Feature Requests for now. Feel free to
respond if you (still) have a need.
