Hi. I have a strange problem on a list which I own, but do not moderate. The moderator tried to send a message to the list and got a message back saying he was forbidden to do so and there is nothing in the logs to tell me anything except that a post went out. How can I track this down and fix it ?
First of all, the fact that the poster is the moderator is irrelevant. The moderator has no special privileges with respect to posting other than the fact that he knows a password that could possibly be used in an Approved: header.
My guess is that the address that Mailman saw the post as coming from is a non-member and generic_nonmember_action is reject or the address or a pattern match is in the reject_these_nonmembers list.
It doesn't seem likely from your description, but it is also possible that the address is moderated and member_moderation_action is reject.
Has the moderator successfully posted before? From the exact same address?
