Thanks for you response.
The text '.."listn...@stcloudstate.edu"..' is copied from Mailman's
Message Headers textbox of a held message and that is exactly how it appears in
that textbox.
The "IMCEAEX-_O=SCSU_OU=First+20Administrative+20Group_cn=Recipients_cn=" comes
from the exchange server. It seems to show up that why for held moderated
messages too(that pass through without problems).
I found out from another user today that it happens to them when they reply of
forward a message to listn...@stcloudstate.edu, but not if they create a new
message. This is the second person that has informed me of this behavior. I
plan to visit his office and observe what his Outlook is doing.
I already tried adding the listn...@stcloudstate.edu as an acceptable alias (in
fact I did it for all of our lists) and thought I had solved the problem but
found out the next day that the same users were still having the same problem.
Are there any log files worth looking at, or additional mailman logging that I
can setup that might be helpful?
Do you think the HTML entities could be causing the problem? Or more likely the
<imceaex-_o=scsu_ou=first+20administrative+20group_cn=recipients_cn=listn...@stcloudstate.edu>?
Do either of these contain characters that would cause Mailman to not match
"listn...@stcloudstate.edu" even though it is in the string?
Thanks again

Are the HTML entities (", < and >) actually in the message
header or are they artifacts from some web copy/paste operation? Even
assuming those are just an artifact, the above header is
To: "Olagunju, Am O." <algu...@stcloudstate.edu>,
"listn...@stcloudstate.edu"
<imceaex-_o=scsu_ou=first+20administrative+20group_cn=recipients_cn=listn...@stcloudstate.edu>
What is all that
"IMCEAEX-_O=SCSU_OU=First+20Administrative+20Group_cn=Recipients_cn="
prepended to "listname" If that is what the To: header actially looked
like, that's the problem.
I would not be surprised to find that Outlook did something to the
address in the To: header of the reply that could cause this, but I
haven't heard of it.
In another reply, Barry Finkel suggests adding
listn...@stcloudstate.edu to acceptable_aliases for the
listn...@lserver.stcloudstate.edu list. While this is a good idea, it
will not solve the problem in this case, because as a deprecated,
backwards compatibility feature, Mailman 2.1.x will accept any address
as the list address if the list name matches even if the domains don't.
