Thanks for the explanation!

I have tried different things with the python client to achieve this but
with no results. I don't know if there are missing features in the
client or if I have misunderstood something.

For instance for known email:

========================================================================

client = Client('http://localhost:8001/3.0', 'restadmin', 'restpass')
my_list = client.get_list(ml_id)

# my_list.nonmembers is a list no "get_member" method
for nm in my_list.nonmembers:
     if nm.email == email_to_add:
         pass # no moderation_action

========================================================================

Or to "subscribe" an unknown email:

========================================================================

my_list.add_role('non-member', email_to_add)
# non-member / nonmember / etc. are not considered as valid roles

========================================================================

As a fallback I have tried to edit directly the database:

========================================================================

conn = sqlite3.connect(DB)
c = conn.cursor()

sql = """
UPDATE member set moderation_action=?
WHERE member.list_id=? and member.address_id = (
     SELECT id from address where email=?)"""

c.execute(sql, [Action.accept.value, ml_id, email_to_add])

conn.commit()

========================================================================

But with no result.

Thanks for any help!
