Please use PGP auth if could, though we describe header based auth here. Also please set up MTA properly e.g. to disable smtp interfaces as could as possible. It is a problem that PGP auth requires user's skill at some level. |
In the case of header based auth, you can create a mail magazine by using the asymmetirc member list. Consider asymmetric case of member list (list of persons who can post) and recipient list below.
Firstly, remove $primary_member_map from $member_maps. Instead, define $ml_home_dir/members-mailmag who can post to $member_maps.
member_maps = $ml_home_dir/members-mailmagThe use of "subscribe" command is same as default one since "subscribe" command changes $primary_member_map not $member_maps. It is a little tricky but crafty use of $primary_XXX_map and $XX_maps enhances fml8 configuration.
In this case, when a new user is subscribed, the user address is added to both $ml_home_dir/members ($primary_member_map) and $ml_home_dir/recipinets ($primary_recipient_map). But $member_maps is defined as $ml_home_dir/members-mailmag. $ml_home_dir/members is not used. Hence, only the list of recipients is updated but the list of posters is NOT changed.
| Warning |
Strictly speaking, this configuration is not enough safe. If somebody fakes From: address, he/she can post since fml checks only From: address. So, pgp auth is recommended. |
Another solution.
primary_member_map = $tmp_dir/members-dummyand use $member_maps (member_maps = $ml_home_dir/members) for normal use. It has only poster's addresses.
