We currently have a community using a Mailman mailing list which is open for posting without having subscribed/registered on the list. These posts are held for moderation in Mailman through this setting:
```
generic_nonmember_action = Hold
```
and the moderation interface allows granted senders to be automatically added to a “blessed” list to avoid further moderation:
```
accept_these_nonmembers = ...
```
You could say that the moderator performs a “light-weight” registration process for the user.
May a similar process be configured in Discourse? The main driver is to have zero setup for users wanting to send their first post. It would assume posting by email and it would be fine with an auto-reply that requires a confirmation link to be clicked before the post is accepted (into moderation or directly to list). Suitable defaults could be set for users that are auto-registered in this way.

After a lot of searching I suddenly bumped into this discussion:
> [@Configuring incoming email to create new topics or group messages](https://meta.discourse.org/t/start-a-new-topic-via-email-e-mail/62977):
>
> bookmark This guide explains how to set up incoming emails to create new topics or group messages in Discourse, including configuration of site settings and category or group-specific settings. person_raising_hand Required user level: Administrator This guide covers: Enabling and configuring incoming emails Choosing between category and group for incoming emails Setting up incoming emails for a group Setting up incoming emails for a category Deciding how forwarded emails are handled …
which mentions “staged users” (nonmembers) and most other things I was looking for.
Would this be the correct match for my process? There seems to be some confusion in the referenced discussion on how to configure this beast. Is this a supported feature? Is there more documentation relating to it?
(FWIW it would be very helpful with something resembling a normal documentation ToC that links to relevant articles for each feature group so one could find and read appropriate documentation “linearly” without the guesswork of trying out different search terms on the support forum)

You are on the right track. You can follow the steps in that topic you mentioned and configure it so that incoming emails are posted to a category. And yes, it’s a supported feature.
The only caveat right now: Topics created via email are currently not going to the approval queue.

> How to Reproduce Set topic requires approval for trust\_0 Set all new users start at trust\_0 Send something from email in Result: The topic appears immediately without requiring approval I think staged users and email in just by-passes too many of the regular posting pipeline that it needs some serious review. It feels like an “add-on”.
