I believe your first response was correct. I was using a non member email address that was associated with my name as a test of the list. It appears that Mailman was allowing it to pass since I am subscribed to the list with another email address. Would Mailman allow it because the names match even though email addresses are different?

No. membership is tested only by email address, however a member's address appearing in any of the headers From:, Reply-To: or Sender: or in the unix From_ line which is normally the envelope sender's address is sufficient. Actually, the list of headers searched for a member is SENDER_HEADERS which can be set in mm_cfg.py, but the above four are the default.

So if your test had ,e.g., Reply-To: your member address, or the envelope was sent by your member address, that would suffice to get the post accepted.
