[Mailman-Users] All lists work except one

[Jonathan Duncan]

I think I found the problem, or at least a solution, but it does not make 
sense that it would have been a problem.

I went into "Privacy options..." under "Sender filters" and added the 
e-mail address that I was sending from to the "List of non-member 
addresses whose postings should be automatically accepted." field.  I 
resent the message and this time it was delivered to the list.

The confusing part is, if not having that address in the Sender filters 
was the problem, why did not the message get bounced or moderated or 
something instead of just disappearing.  On that same page the "Action to 
take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is 
defined." is set to "Reject".  Ah, but the "Should messages from 
non-members, which are automatically discarded, be forwarded to the list 
moderator?" is set to "No".  Although that should not make a difference, 
right?

Thanks,
Jonathan
