I'm both moving and renaming a customer's list. The list's current name resembles frobniz@lists.fmp.com. After the move, on the new Mailman installation, it will be called something like fblist@frobniz.com. Forwarding mail addressed to the old list to the new list address is no problem.
The list administrator will announce to the subscribers that the list's name will change, but there will inevitably be subscribers who will miss the announcement and send mail to the old list address. Will Mailman on the new server reject redirected email if addressed to the old list name, even if the sender's address is in the subscriber list? If so, is there any way to get around this?

Mailman will hold the post for moderator action if Privacy options... -> Recipient filters -> require_explicit_destination is Yes and the old address is not in acceptable_aliases.
If require_explicit_destination is No or the old list posting address is in acceptable_aliases, Mailman will will not hold the post for this reason.
