Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 7129
Messages to features@api.openoffice.org have to be moderated
Last modified: 2003-12-06 14:52:32 UTC
The current configuration is that subscribers of the list ooposters@openoffice.org are allowed to send to any list without the need of moderation. This doesn't work for features@api.openoffice.org. The most recent example is a message from thomas.lange@sun.com (who is subscribed to ooposters). The moderation message is attached.

Opened internal issue. As a short-term workaround, how about placing ooposters in the "allowed posters" section of the features mailing list?
Hi, thanks for the suggestion; I hesitate to duplicate data and generate inconsistencies. My short term solution is to moderate :-(
Hi Stefan, I am researching a moderation solution for you here & will update you tomorrow. Talk to ya soon, Eric
I emailed the assigned engineer on what exactly needs to be done to get the expected results. Will update this issue as soon as I get the information. Eric
Hi Stefan, The engineer says he is a bit confused about duplicate data & incosistencies. He mentions the following. The way it's supposed to work is that all mailing lists set to list type 'allowed-posters' should allow subscribers of ooposters to mail without moderation. That's a one-off for openoffice that was implemented a long time ago as I was told. I don't see any data redundancy in doing this? Maybe a misunderstanding in that he may have thought he had to copy subscribers from ooposters to 'Edit allowed subscribers', which is not what they should do this. Stefan, Can you let me know where we should go with this isue from here? Thanks, Eric
Hi, my understanding of the configuration is a bit different. Not only lists of type "allowed-posters" but also type "discuss" allow posts from senders, who are not subscribed to the list itself - but are subscribers to ooposters. A working example is interface-discuss@ooo and features@sw.openoffice.org. The goal is to have a domain wide allowed-posters list! We can't maintain each list's allowed-posters entries, if we have a new trusted community member. This worked for all features@<project> list, but not for features@api.openoffice.org. During my investigations today I found, that 1 entry, which is in all other list's allowed-posters subscribers, was missing for features@api. I added the needed entry and will see, if this solved the problem. Changing status to resolved/fixed. Thanks, Stefan.
As agreed by Louis I will close these resolved fixed support-owned issues now. If you have trouble with that, please re-open the issue.
