I run the server for an organization whose membership information is
stored in a postgres database. I would like to create an address to
which the executive board can send emails that will be forwarded to the
membership.
Although I still haven't fully grasped the config file structure, it
seems like it would be easy enough to lookup the recipients from the
database. What I can't figure out is how to restrict it so that only
board members can post.
Some ideas I've tossed around include:
* Put the board members on a white list for one username. I have no
idea how to do this. I also realize and accept that the addresses
can be forged.
* Freeze incoming messages to that address and build a web interface
for board members to unfreeze the messages.
* Install or write a separate mailing list manager with support for
moderated mailing lists. I haven't been able to find one that can
get the recipient list from a database and don't know what's
involved in writing one.
Am I even in the right ballpark?
