I've just moved over from Majordomo, where if I wanted to forward a message from a non-member of a closed (subscriber-only posting) list to that list, even if the list was NOT set up as moderated, I could use the "approved:" formulation to do so.
Is there any way to do this in Smartlist?
If you "bounce" or "redirect" or "forward" the submission back to the mailing list (sorry, everyone's mailer uses different terminology), and your e-mail address is in the accept2 file, SmartList ought to accept your resubmission. Your mailer will almost certainly put your e-mail address somewhere in the forwarded message where SmartList will look for it (e.g. the envelope address, the "Sender" header, the "Resent-From" header). This is actually how we handle moderated lists here. I was never able to get "Approved" headers to work with both regular and digest lists to my satisfaction.
