Here is a typical auto discard vette log entry from a guy who isn't subscribed on the particular email he used, but is on other email addresses:
Feb 16 18:13:35 2018 (1341) Message discarded, msgid: < CALKxJoSAAhuBCRZCmmbWFpsrCjdZPwiwy--N95_1BDk4kniMGw@mail.gmail.com>' list: Nome-announce, handler: Moderate
This is a normal non-member discard. it is either because the non-member address is in discard_these_nonmembers or not in any *_these_nonmembers and generic_nonmember_action is Discard.
This message went to a nome-announce.bounces "Auto discard notification" I can actually see the message in that notification.
Right. I forgot about forward_auto_discards.
What has changed in the last month or two is when a non-member used to try to post, I would get a nome-announce-bounces "Nome-announce post from someone@nome.net requires approval" and the message would be "Post to a moderated list".
That should only happen if the post is from a member whose mod bit is set and member_moderation_action is Hold.
In that case I could then go into the administrative interface "Tend to pending moderator requests" and review who had tried to post and act on it one way or another. If it was a local non-spam email I could write to the person and tell them to subscribe and give instructions, or to use their subscribed email account.
What you are describing is more like a post being held because generic_nonmember_action is Hold, but then the reason is 'Post by non-member to a members-only list'
But now it seems like if anyone tries to post with an unsubscribed account, I don't see them unless I go through the (up to) hundreds of "Auto discard notification"s. So I'm thinking now it isn't to do with any of my spam filters because I haven't touched them for several months.. except I did add that ^parsons@nome \.net$ last entry in the sender filters not too long ago.
It has nothing to do with your spam filters. I think you, perhaps inadvertently, changed Privacy options... -> Sender filters -> generic_nonmember_action from Hold to Discard.
