[ILUG] Restict posting to ILUG to members only?

Quoting Colm MacCarthaigh (colm at stdlib.net):

Colm, I just wanted to poke my head into this thread to thank you for
mentioning Mailman's plug-in interface, which is exactly what is needed
on Linux Gazette's The Answer Gang mailing list,
tag at lists.linuxgazette.net, for a particular type of special mail
treatment there.  (If you're curious about that, I can fill you in, but
you're probably too busy at the moment dealing with this nth repeat of
an annoying flamewar -- not your fault, of course.  Suffice it to say
that TAG has an open posting policy identical to ilug@, and also has a
special need to munge headers in a way that stock Mailman doesn't
support.)

I just thought you might want to know that something good has come of
this discussion, and that your help is appreciated.

Cheers,
