[Mailman-Users] accept_these_nonmembers for umbrella lists

Thanks Mark,

USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER=No (we haven't changed it)
For the lists in question both have from_is_list=No and dmarc_moderation_action=1 (the system defaults)

Adding the @list1 to the non-members  on list2 works, but I have admins here who have one or two users (usually faculty) who want to post to the umbrellas but don't want to be subscribed to anything. While subscribe + no-mail works, most of these admins tend to go to accept_these_nonmembers first, so I'm trying to figure out what's preventing it from working in this instance on our site (we're on 2.1.18-1 with some local customization so the usual caveats there).

The article at <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030574> may help.

The most likely explanation is that you have

USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER = Yes

in mm_cfg.py. This means that list2 is checking the Sender: header value
against the accept_these_nonmembers list and the Sender: header has the
list1-bounces address, not yours.

There are other possibilities depending on various settings of list1.
Note that cmu.edu publishes DMARC p=none, so it's possible that list1 is
munging the From: header depending on DMARC settings.
