moderating usenet->mailman posts

[Karl Berry]

In http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/msg62889.html, I explained the (very strong) desirability of having posts made from Usenet to Mailman be subject to normal moderation rules instead of automatically and unconditionally approved. (In short, to not let Usenet spam through to the mailing lists without any checking.)

In his reply, http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/msg62890.html, Mark gave a simple one-line change (that is working fine so far as we can tell).

When I asked, Mark told me that the change couldn't be made for mailman 2.1, since it would need to be a user option and thus have i18n impact, so suggested that I post it here, tagged mailman3, which I hope I've done here.

Happy hacking,
Karl

Currently, MM3's gate_news script isn't yet completely ported to the new
infrastructure. I agree that when it is, messages gated from NNTP should go
through a moderation chain, though probably not exactly the one defined for
messages coming in through LMTP.
