I have a strange, occasionally occurring phenomenon on one of my
mailing lists (in Mailman 2.29) which I don't understand:
1. A subscribed address to the list tries to post a message to
the list.
2. The attempted posting does not go through to the list, nor
does it go to the moderation queue. Instead, I the list admin
receives a message via the bounces-address with a copy of the
attempted posting.
3. The bounce message looks like/similar to the bounce message
that is generated when a bounce happens at one single
individual subscriber's e-mail address. But in that case the
list archive as well as other subscribers (including me)
will get a copy of the posting. And that is not the case here.
No copy to me, nothing in the archive.
So the only trace I can see of the posting is the weird bounce
message containing a copy of the posting.
Why doesn't the attempted posting go to the moderator queue, if
there is something about the subscriber or the message that
prevents it from being distributed? (The list in question is
unmoderated for subscribers.)
Below is a copy of one of the strange bounce postings.
