RFE: post-only

RFE: post-only

This may already be possible, in which case I apologize for being dense. :)

We have a number of users who prefer to read via Gmane.  Because all our
lists only allow posts from subscribers, we have a number of requests for a
"post-only" feature whereby users can subsribe to a list for purposes of
posting, but not actually receive any email.

Is this possible today?  If not, can I add it as an RFE? 

Thanks.

You can add the address(s) or domains to the allow list but not
subscribe them.

Is it possible for a user to do this via email commands?  I'd rather not
have to manually manage the lists manually.

We've prepared the infrastructure for this, so it'll be available as a
patch shortly after the digest patch, which we'll have ready (thanks to
Morten!) later this evening.

Both of them will be part of mlmmj-1.1 as well.

With current CVS it's possible to do this:

 echo | mail listname+subscribe-nomail@domail.tld

and then one's subscribed to the list, but not getting any mail.

Great!  We'll give it a shot.
