I have a list which is set to reject posts from non-members (see
settings below).
At one point I had an address (chira...@gmail.com) which was subscribed
to the list (adf-www).
However, I unsubscribed it from the list sometime yesterday. The
list_members command confirmed that it is not subscribed to the list:
a...@lists:~$ list_members adf-www
adfro...@illious.com
ashipkows...@gmail.com
athenam...@gmail.com
athom...@adf.org
cefarr...@gmail.com
cryst...@cedarlight.org
druidki...@mac.com
knottydrag...@hotmail.com
m...@chronarchy.com
nightdr...@lycos.com
p...@castingtherunes.com
sele...@zoomtown.com
sk...@dragonskeep.us
walks_alo...@hotmail.com
smgoo...@hotmail.com
I went into the inbox of that account, chira...@gmail.com, which is not
a subscriber, and *replied* to one of the posts it had received when it
*was* on the list.
I expected to get a rejection notice back since chira...@gmail.com isn't
a subscriber but... the post went through.
I got it at the athom...@adf.org address, I looked at the headers and it
was sent From chira...@gmail.com with adf-www in the To and Reply-To
fields, with adf-www-bounces in the sender field. Further, I confirmed
it by checking the mbox file for the list.
Amazed, I used list_members to confirm that chira...@gmail.com was not a
subscriber, then replied to a different message (received when it /had/
been on the list), and that message went through too!
At this point I was paranoid that the list would allow anyone in the
world to post, but when I tried posting from a different address (which
had never been on the list at all), I got back the expected rejection
notice.
I then posted from my athom...@adf.org address, which /is/ a subscriber
on the list, to see whether chira...@gmail.com would get the post, and I
got the post back, it was added to the mbox file, but chira...@gmail.com
did /not/ get the post.
So what I'm left with is a non-subscriber, which used to be a
subscriber, apparently able to post to a list I'm pretty sure is
configured to only allow posts from subscribers.
Does anyone have any experience or insight into this? I searched the
archives but couldn't find anything similar.
thanks,
Anthony
(I put x at the end of the user portion of various email addresses in
this post just to spam protect them as I don't know how the archives for
this list are configured)
