She should also moderate herself and post with an Approved: <password>
header or pseudo header using the list's 'poster' password.

>From the NEWS for Mailman 2.1.17:
There is a new mm_cfg.py setting ANONYMOUS_LIST_KEEP_HEADERS. Since it
is not possible to know which non-standard headers in a message might
reveal sender information, we now remove all headers from incoming posts
to anonymous lists except those which match regular expressions in this
list. The default setting keeps non X- headers except those known to
reveal sender information, Mailman added X- headers and x-Spam- headers.
See the description in Defaults.py for more information. (LP: #1246039)
Some obvious headers are always removed, but Organization: isn't one of
them.
The default setting is
ANONYMOUS_LIST_KEEP_HEADERS = ['^(?!x-)', '^x-mailman-',
'^x-content-filtered-by:', '^x-topics:',
'^x-ack:', '^x-beenthere:',
'^x-list-administrivia:', '^x-spam-',
]
If you were to put
ANONYMOUS_LIST_KEEP_HEADERS = ['^(?!(x-|organization))', '^x-mailman-',
'^x-content-filtered-by:', '^x-topics:',
'^x-ack:', '^x-beenthere:',
'^x-list-administrivia:', '^x-spam-',
]
in mm_cfg.py, that would remove the Organization: header, but I consider
that a workaround and will add Organization: to the always removed
headers for 2.1.19.
Note, in testing the above I found another bug in that the headers in
the above list that end with ':' aren't kept because the colon isn't
part of the name we're matching against. I'm fixing that in Cleanse.py
to replace a trailing ':' with '$'. See
