If they are actually using Gmane, they show as subscribed; there's an "Injected via Gmane" header that satisfies the test for whether the poster is subscribed; the messages will not be sent to the moderator.

Barbara,

Is this correct? Recently you noticed that some of my posts were marked as having been moderated and I said it was because I was using Gmane. At the time that was accepted but, from what you say now it seems I was wrong and had been doing something else (which I can't explain).

Just as a test, this message is being sent via Gmane from an e-mail address that is subscribed to the newsgroup gmane.comp.openoffice.general but is *not* subscribed to discuss <at> openoffice.org. I'll be interested to see how it appears in the mail list.

Well, wrong again. The above message arrived *un*moderated, just as you, Barbara, said it would. Hmm.

And this message sent from your googlemail account gets moderated.


I've discovered what is happening. There is some quirk in Thunderbird that causes its "from" address to be wrongly set under some circumstances. I have separate TB accounts, each with its own address It seems that sending from one sometimes uses the address of another. I haven't yet figured out what causes this. My recent unmoderated message was sent from this [subscribed] account, using the Reply button but another [unsubscribed] account's address was used as the From address. Ho hum.

Hopefully this will be unmoderated.
