We don't want everyone to subscribe, but we need able to loop in some external people on some threads. Non-member posting on mailing lists is a standard feature since forever, we are counting on it. Again if the issue is spam, with the posts going through the moderation queue we do discard them by hand and let only the legitimate emails in - that's what we have always done until now, and I don't think you had any issue from us? If not, could you please allow this at least the time for us to migrate?This issue is quite cripling to some of the current conversations. -- Xavier Whitebox.aero <https://whitebox.aero/> On Tue, Mar 10, 2026, at 21:05, MailmanLists Support wrote:
Hello Xavier
Pretty much any sort of online "forum" requires user registration of some kind in order to post.
I can add an exception for your list that: rejects messages from non-members and notifies them that they need to subscribe to the list in order to post.
Let me know if that suits.

Unfortunately we need to be able to include others in discussions we hold on the mailing-list, and have their emails appear on the mailing-list. So discarding those emails isn't going to work for us. :/ If you are worried about spam, we had those posts going through the moderation queue, and we were filtering out the few spams by hand. Could you consider allowing at least that option, if not the approval by default?
If this isn't possible, we will unfortunately need to cancel our plan and migrate. :/ Which would be huge pain, especially without advance warning - maybe you could give us time to migrate before enforcing this option?
