Good question. Note that if the forwarding is rewriting the sender and
it then appears that the post is from a non-member and Privacy
options...->Sender filters->generic_nonmember_action is Reject or
Discard, you won't see the post on the list.

Also there may be issues with Privacy options...->Recipient
filters->require_explicit_destination, although this would cause the
message to be held for approval, not discarded. You probably want
maillinglist at pirateship.org.au in the Privacy options...->Recipient
filters->acceptable_aliases list.
