What you need is a custom handler. See the FAQ at

Thank you. Done.

In your case, the handler is very simple - just 9 lines.

import re
cre = re.compile('unique\.name', re.IGNORECASE)
def process(mlist, msg, msgdata):
if mlist.internal_name <> 'abc-l':
return
if cre.search(msg.get('to', '')):
msgdata['approved'] = 1
# Used by the Emergency module
msgdata['adminapproved'] = 1

Of course, you adjust the regexp 'unique\.name' and the list name
'abc-l' to suit. The handler needs to be in the pipeline before
Moderate.

OK - I made a file called Foo.py and put it in /Mailman/Handlers.
I then inserted this module right before 'Moderate' in the pipeline (I
editted
Defaults.py for this - just as a temporary measure to see if it would
work).
I will remove this and add a line to mm_cfg.py later.

I then stopped/started the Mailman processes (not sure if that's
necessary, but
I did it anyway). Now the test email I sent is stuck in the shunt queue
and this
is in the errors log:

File "/Mailman/Handlers/Foo.py", line 2
cre = re.compile('unique\.name', re.IGNORECASE) def process(mlist,
msg, msgdata):
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

You used some kind of word processor to create foo.py that concatenated
lines 2 and 3 into a single line. Your Foo.py file must be just like
my original example with lines 1, 2 and 3 at the left margin, lines 4
and 6 indented 4 spaces and lines 5, 7, 8 and 9 indented 8 spaces.
