I have a list in which posting is limited to list subscribers only. One
of the list members was hit with a virus and forwarded a post with virus
attachment to the list.
I'm trying to understand why a post from a non-subscriber (as per the
from address) would have been sent through, when all other posts by
non-subscribers are held for moderation.
I'm no expert by any means, but it looks as if the message ID field was
inserted into the from field. Would this have caused mailman to allow
this post to the list instead of holding it for moderation as a post by
a non-subscriber?
Many thanks in advance for any help or enlightment you can provide.
