accept mails from several Users, not list members beside members, howto
Hi
I do look out for a method to accept mails from list members and a number of 20-30 Email addresses (not list members) to a mailing list. All others should be denied to post to the list.
I can add those as non-members, but AFAIK I cannot define a special rule for them in "message acceptance". Under "message acceptance" the line "non-members" is set to deny, but if I set it to "default procesessing" - will it allow ALL email addresses, or just the group of "non-member" users?
Thank you.

You can go to Users -> Non-Members and find the non-members you want to allow posting for and then go into their preferences and set their Moderation Action to "Default processing".

Yes, that will allow all non-members to post, which probably isn't what you want from what I gather. You want the default policy to be deny and then set moderation action on each individual non-member.

Thank you. I would have hoped for a extra input box to enter a list of ~100 email addresses, but ok, lets do it this way.

There is the legacy accept_these_nonmembers setting (exposed in Postorius since 1.3.3). This is designed to support the MM 2.1 setting which accepted regexps, but it also supports non-regexp addresses.
Note that a match in one of *_these_nonmembers will override the moderation action for a non-member.
