That message results when a non-member attempts to post and the
non-member is either in reject_these_nonmembers or the
generic_nonmember_action is Reject.

So, did you post from a subscribed (member) address? If not, either
subscribe your address or add your address to accept_these_nonmembers
(all these settings are on Privacy options...->Sender filters). Note
that simply making yourself an 'owner' or 'moderator' does not make
you a member.

If you think you did post from a subscribed address, perhaps you have
set USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER = Yes in mm_cfg.py and the envelope sender of
your post is different from your address.
