allow specifying another list in accept_these_nonmembers

[jtittsler]

Add the capability to logically include the addresses
all of the members of another list in the same Mailman
installation to accept_these_nonmembers.

'@listname' checks the poster's address against the
membership of listname.

The file listinclusion.patch was added: patch against 2.1.6 (should also apply to 2.1.5)

Marking as an Mailman 2.2 new feature candidate.

The 2.1.6 patch also applies without change to Mailman 2.1.7
and 2.1.8. Even though there are minor changes in the
patched modules, the patched line numbers and the patch data
are unchanged.

The patch also applies without change to Mailman 2.1.9.

Because '@' is mandatory in mailman 2.2 listname, I think that '`listname@domain`' is more preferable. Use of '`' is meaning 'evaluate this list member'.

I also think we can merge this patch (along with the sibling list patch #1347962) in the next mailman 2.1.10 because release of 2.2 is delayed considerably.

Thoughts ?

Hello,

I'm very interested in using this feature, but I'm not very good at adding custom patches... any chance of an update on when this will be added to the core code?

Thanks,

Charles

Patch will be in 2.1.10.

The attached list inclusion patch is a one-line change to the original patch plus expansion of some tabs. The change replaces "if mother.members.has_key(sender)" with "if mother.isMember(sender)". Using the isMember() method will work with all MemberAdaptors, not just OldStyleMemberships.py. Also, members.has_key(sender) only tests regular members, not digest members.

This corrected patch is provided for those still using Mailman 2.1.9 or older that want this functionality. The patch is not required for Mailman 2.1.10 and newer.
