It certainly looks as though that should have been accepted.

What is in Mailman's 'vette' log for this post? If that doesn't provide
the answer, I would try the following:

In Mailman/Handlers/Moderate.py, find the following:

----------------------------------------
    else:
        sender = msg.get_sender()
    # From here on out, we're dealing with non-members.
----------------------------------------

Change the this to:

----------------------------------------
    else:
        sender = msg.get_sender()
    # From here on out, we're dealing with non-members.
    syslog('vette',
           'Non member post. get_senders() = %s get_sender() = %s',
           str(msg.get_senders()), sender)
-----------------------------------------

This will create an entry in the 'vette' log (preceding the normal held
post entry) for every non-member post. which in addition to the
'sender' from get_sender() also contains the list of senders from
get_senders(). It is this list that is validated for membership. The
post is considered from a list member if any of the get_senders()
addresses is a list member.
