I looked through the archives and found the attached email message. I am having the same problem.

1. I created a mailing list, posting allowed only from members

2. I signed up two users. Both users received a welcome message

3. I post a message from a user to the list and I get this message:

   List: Cystinuria@endeavor.med.nyu.edu Reason held: Postings from member addresses only. From: kswenson@netscape.net Subject: Test Mail #1

The email address mentioned in the message is *exactly* what is in the list. I did not see a reply to Alan's message in the archives. Is there any workaround to this problem?

We are having a problem with the rc1 version of mailman. The problem also existed is previous versions I tried. If you select to allow posts only from members AND to not have to approve each message it doesn't work right. We still have to approve every message and the reason given is that posts are allowed by members only. How exactly is the mailman try to determine if you are on the list? Sometimes it looks like it's getting it from Sender: and sometimes it looks like it's getting info from one of the Recevied by tags. I've tried it from 5 different mail servers and I get the same results every time. It tells me that posting is restricted to members of the list. One time it told me that I had to approve the message for that reason and the From: address it listed in the email to me WAS the same as the one I entered. This program (mailman) is great so if someone could help me out here I would appreciate it. Thanks!
