I wouldn't ever even /expect/ to be able to submit from a non-member

...and I wouldn't expect the list admin to take special measures for me 
either - I'd expect to have to subscribe from two addresses and deal 
with the dupes if I wanted to send from two addresses. Does Mailman have 
a "nomail" facility that subscribers could set /themselves/ on secondary 
accounts?

In gentler times, your concern would be wonderful - in the current 
climate, you'll drown if you can't automate it. Save yourself, while you 
can!
