The log said: "Reason: Blind carbon copies or other implicit
destinations are not allowed. Try reposting your message by explicitly
including the list address in the To: or Cc: fields."

Unfortunately this is not the reason as the poster is a member since
the list was created and even is one of the moderators.
(Sorry, I didn't tell before.)

Makes sense but seems unlikely. Which file is the right one to check?

USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER = No
and
there is no Sender defined in the header.

Thanks a lot for the explanations and sorry for my delay. The sender
agreed to send messages to the list separatedly instead of BCCing in
the future. Though I like to help to track this down to see if it is a
Mailman bug or misconfiguration.

I send you the original mail and the mailman reminder so you can
inspect the headers.
