I have a website where users can register with an email address. Those addresses are stored in a database. Is it possible to automatically approve messages from addresses in that database even if they are not members of the list? The only possibility I found for mailman to auto-approve non-members is with accept_these_nonmembers. Can I somehow dynamically bind this to my database?

There's no direct bindings to databases in Mailman, but you may consider the other way around; there's a neat and often missed feature within Mailman that was inherited from old-school majordomo - Approved: header. When this header is present within the message and contains correct moderator password, such message would be processed immediately.
You can setup a list moderator password within Mailman, and then add Approved: password headers to incoming mail by some other means, i.e. a custom script, procmail, or even Postfix or Exim header manipulation based on database query before the message gets to Mailman itself.

Perfect, that's what I was looking for! – Shadowigor Sep 25 '17 at 17:51
