The person may have been, but she may have been posting from a different address. > Looks like she was a bit fast in posting. That's the most likely reason, I guess. But for future reference, remember that Mailman 2 has no notion of "member", only "subscribed address". Mailman 3 will surely have some way for members to specify alternative addresses. And possibly, some way to guess certain variants. Eg, if "[email protected]" is subscribed, then "[email protected]" probably is the same person. But Mailman 2 doesn't have it. I chose that example (real but obfuscated) for a reason. Specifically, the second variant is today used only by spammers; I haven't sent a message with that "From" since 1995, and I doubt it's been used as "Sender" more than a very small handful of times since 2000. So this would have to be an aid to moderators/list owners, not something one automates.
