[Mailman-Users] Read-Only Mailing Lists

[Barry A. Warsaw]

Setting up an announce-only list /ought/ to be much easier in MM2.1.

- You can disable the List-Post: header separately, since it isn't
  meaningful for announce-only lists.

- You can set a moderate flag on all your members (and for any new
  members that later join).

- You can set an automatic action when a post comes from a moderated
  member.  The action can be something like "reject this message" or
  "discard this message".

- You can set up an automatic action when a post comes from a
  non-member, similar to the above.

- If your "allowed posters" are members of the list, simply turn off
  their moderation flag and their posts will go straight through.  If
  your "allowed posters" are not members, add their address to the
  accept_these_nonmembers list.

You'll still need to edit the list's listinfo.html page, but that
should be easy.
