Please tell us specifically what your Mailman List's Mail<->News
gateways settings are?

In particular, if your Gmane posts are arriving at Mailman via
Mailman's News->Mail Gateway (gateway_to_mail = Yes), Mailman is going
to accept everything that comes via that path except for those posts
which it sent via gateway_to_news.

On the other hand, if the Gmane posts are arriving by mail, as I
understand your requirement, you can't do any filtering on Gmane
headers because you do not want to either accept, hold or rejece ALL
posts from Gmane. You want to accept without holding, those and only
those posts which are From: certain addresses. As I have said before
in this thread, as long as the Gmane posts are considered to be from a
member, the way to do this is to make the acceptable From: addresses
members too.

That seems to indicate a message from NNTP
