[Mailman-Users] Message discarded without reason logged in vette

[Hirayama, Pat]

Hi Mark,

This is the message (from just a few minutes ago, in fact):

Jul 08 09:17:51 2016 (3892) Message discarded, msgid: <...>

I am stumped.  The sender is a non-moderated member.  She is in fact, listed as a moderator.  filter_content is set to no.  ARCHIVE_HTML_SANITIZER does not appear to be set.  dmarc_moderation_action is set to ACCEPT.   header_filter_rules = [].

As near as I can tell, everywhere in the admin interface where one can select "Discard" is not checked.  

					-p

That's correct.

Note that what I wrote below applies only to the exact log entry
"Message discarded, msgid: <...>". It seems that's the one you've seen,
but there can be other messages such as "No command, message discarded,
msgid: <...>" which is logged for messages sent to the -request address
with no command or to -confirm with incorrect format.
