Hello,

accept_these_nonmembers
filter
but mail coming from these people do not reach the list, but are sent to moderation
what do I have to do?
thanks jdd NB: version 2.1.14

The *_these_nonmembers filters match the string or regexp against the 'sender' of the post. This is determined as follows:
This can return either the From: header, the Sender: header or
the envelope header (a.k.a. the unixfrom header). The first non-empty header value found is returned. However the search order is determined by the following:
- If mm_cfg.USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER is true, then the search order
is Sender:, From:, unixfrom
- Otherwise, the search order is From:, Sender:, unixfrom
I.e., if mm_cfg.USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER is true and the post contains a Sender: header with an address different from the From: address, it is the Sender: address that is matched against the *_these_nonmembers lists.
If that's not the explanation, what exactly do you have in accept_these_nonmembers?

only a list of mail adresses.
But I don't know what happen. I just tried (with my wife's email) and the mechanism worked perfectly: the first mail got moderated (I'm the moderator) and the second reach the list without moderation as expected.
so the problem may be only with this particular user. I have to wait for the next failure. But then what will I have exactly to look at, and first where is the source mail stored? oir is the headers in the moderation message enough?

look at From: and Sender:, but actually the address in the From:user@example.com heading in the Held Messages section of the admindb page or the email notification will tell you the address that was not matched against accept_these_nonmembers. From: and Sender: should tell you where it came from.

well finally I received one such mail (it's more or less monthly :-)
it appears to be from a subscriber mailing list (not mine). The "from" is in my "to be accepted" list, but its moderated. I would like to have these mails accepted without moderation (but not all bulk messages from anywhere :-().

Can I manage this?

It looks like this message was sent to the list via the email address all-april@ (which looks like a local address, since it doesn't have a domain), this is generally not a good idea for a message that is going to be distributed in the wild, as it will not be a valid email address for people to reply to. If you want to all that anyway, you need to add this address as a list alias.

Yes, acceptable list aliases, as entered in

This is designed to handle cases where the list has alternate names that people can use to submit mail to it.

From: Frederic Couchet <fcouchet@ To: all-april@
This is problematic. To pass this email you'd need to do one of two things. You can go to Privacy options -> Recipient filters and put all-april in acceptable_aliases, but that probably won't work because next month's will be all-may. These are regexps so you could try
all-.*@example\.com$
where example.com is the real domain.
The other choice is to just set require_explicit_destination to No, but that may allow some spam that would otherwise get held by this check.
