[Mailman-Users] Posting only from list members does not identify members correctl y y

[Keith Swenson]

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 at endeavor.med.nyu.edu
    Reason held:  Postings from member addresses only.
    From:         kswenson at 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?
