Hi Al and all,

I'm Sorry, but that really isn't possible with Mailman. Once a message
is rejected, disguarded, etc the message itself is deleted by Mailman
and is removed from the message queue. There is no automatic way to
have Mailman send the message back to the original sender via Mailman
that I'm aware of.

The only way this might be accomplished is if the moderator in charge
manually copied the message into a new e-mail, e-mailed it to the
original sender, etc along with the automatically generated rejection
notice. The problem is that we get quite a large number of messages in
the moderator inbox for approval and more than half are rejected
because they are over the message length, and we'd have to copy and
e-mail every single one of those back to the original poster by hand.
Would you seriously want to do that yourself?

The thing is that if we started doing this we might as well make the
changes ourselves and then post it directly to the list as there would
be little point to returning the posters message for them to correct
and repost if we had to do all the extra work anyway. :D

Cheers!
