[Mailman-Users] Is there a way to allow messages from non-members to go to a list without any moderation?

The way to do this is to go into Privacy/Sender Filters and set it so that 
the default non-member action is Accept.

However, depending on your preferences, this may not be all you will want 
to do with this.

In order to let through absolutely everything, you'll also want to set the 
maximum message size to 0, set it to not care how many recipients there 
are to a message, and set it not to care whether or not the list name is 
in the To or Cc fields of the message.  The first of these is in the 
general options (I think), and the others are in the recipient filters in 
the privacy section.

I've had to set up such a list myself recently and ran into a few of these 
gotchas.  I think that perhaps I also had to set something else but I 
forget now what it might have been.
