Hi all,
Here's my situation: I have a list that is fairly high volume. To weed
out the inanities, I have set restrict_post to a second, hidden, list.
After approving a bunch of posts by hand for each new user, and after I
know they aren't a raving nutter, I add them to this hidden list.
This all works fine.
Unfortunately, I want to set 'get' and 'index' access on the real list to
'list'. With 1.94.4, this uses the restrict_post list to decide if the
person should be granted access or not... which is not what I want. I
want the *real* list to determine that, and the restrict_post list to,
well, restrict posts.
Here's a patch to fix this against 1.94.4. It works by adding a
selector "users" to get_access, index_access, and so on. If you use
"users", then Majordomo will use the regular listname / listname-digest
files to determine if the person is authorized, whether restrict_post is
set or not.
