The issue seems not to be overly active. I thought -- coming from Mailman v2 -- that the configuration of acceptable submitters to an email list (e.g. keep everyone moderated?) would be a central and prominent and important configuration issue. Seems not to be a central point. Mmmh.
Acceptable aliases corresponds directly to MM 2.1 Privacy options... -> Recipient filters -> acceptable_aliases. It has nothing to do with submitters. It is a list of other addresses that can be in the To: or Cc: of a post to avoid and "implicit destination" hold if the list posting address is not there.
However, the point here is that this bug makes the entire configuration tab unusable. I could live WITHOUT acceptable_aliases. This bug spoils the possibility to set ANY message acceptance settings _easily_. Of course, I can work around:
- delete the text field for acceptable aliases before hitting submit
- insert a fance @ character there, and give a damn about the fancy stuff mailman3 does with this
However, the possibility to make an entire mailing list moderated -- ALL POSTS -- is a central point. Or not?
If this is so complicated then one option might be to remove the entire "acceptable aliases" field. It does not work anyway, and spoils other useful things (read: all other settings in the "Message Acceptance" tab)
The point is not so much what this particular setting is for, but: it is broken for more than a year now and spoils other useful settings in the configuration dialog that it is located at.
The "Message Acceptance" dialog is a central point IMHO. You make have another opinion about that.
