Bad idea when you consider the possible mail loops that can be created doing this.

This should never happen.  Senders that are non-members should already be in your
restrict_post configuration.  Those that are not "should be" handled by a human,
not an automated process.  Automating the process would be nearly the same as
just having an open list to begin with.
