Posts by non-subscribers not getting automatically discarded

I have two lists which have started being spammed by non-members and I have tried to set it for automatic discarding with no notification to the admin.
However, I still get notices that my attention is required. When I look at the list I see, for each problem post:
the post is being deferred due to improper content
I get the options to discard or ban them forever
I do not have content filtering turned on.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
-Tom

The phrase "improper content" does not appear in any standard GNU Mailmamn hold reason. Either you are not reporting the actual reason or you have a custom or modified handler in the pipeline ahead of Moderate or both. Moderate is the handler that will apply generic_nonmember_action to a non-member post.

I'm sorry, you're correct, Mark. I forgot you told me earlier how to write such a handler which I implemented successfully. You said:
So I guess the real question is "how do I postpone that handler until AFTER the check for whether the poster is a member?"
After reviewing the original implementation instructions I think I can fix the problem.
Consider the problem solved unless I run into problems.
Thanks so much!
