Sorry if this is a dumb question ... but what header indicates the 
"envelope sender"?

As far as I could tell from the headers I saw, the *ONLY* place that 
rpg400 at m.gmane.org showed up was in the X-MailScanner-From header.

Yes, rpg400 at m.gmane.org is a list member ... because that's how gmane 
receives list messages to process them into it's news server.

I actually changed that in my mm_cfg.py file after this problem started 
in hopes that it would help.  The original value was No, I changed it to 
Yes.

Now the messages are held because 'news at sea.gmane.org' is not a member 
of the list.
