***SPAM*** [mlmmj] subonlypost + Access Control

Hi all,

The problem: I want to run a list where subscribers can communicate between each other but where non-subscribers can't get in.  This is fine, subonlypost.

But the list is actually a reflector for messages received by netnews.  Oops!  I can't set subonlypost now.  Even if I add a secret header to the gateway script stripped by delheaders and allowed by access control, I cannot arrange it so that the authenticated netnews postings make it while only non-subscribers can post.

Have I missed anything at all?  If not, a feature request: access control should add another action, "Really-Allow", which does exactly that, no further progress through subonlypost/other testing just straight allowed.

Cheers,
Sabahattin

This is possible using a feature I recently implemented and which I believe has 
been accepted, so it just needs to be committed to CVS and should be included in 
the next release.

Or you can apply the patch yourself. See here:
