Glad to hear this.  AFAIK, TMDA isn't currently in use at any huge
sites, so this should be a good test.

The docs cover the details, but yes TMDA can do this.  For example,
the filter for the tmda-workers mailing list includes the following
lines:

  # allow subscribers through
  from-mailman -attr=members ~mailman/lists/tmda-workers  ok

  # ditto for digest subscribers
  from-mailman -attr=digest_members ~mailman/lists/tmda-workers  ok
