That means either that (1) the message has previously been successfully posted to the list (not necessarily by that user), and the user is resending the message "as is" to the list (some MUAs call this "forward" or "bounce"), or (2) something very odd is happening. (1) might happen if the post is, say, a FAQ or introduction to the list and the user wants to post it on a regular basis. "Resending" to the list might seem like an easy way to do it, but will fail because of the x-beenthere header. I have no idea why case (2) would happen, except as a bad joke by somebody who understands mail and Mailman quite well. > Does anyone in the list have any idea to describe why the mailing > list is unavailable to receive mail? As you suspected, the x-beenthere field will prevent that list from receiving that post. It needs to be removed from the message before resending. If the situation I described above is what it happening, the best solution is simple: make a template message, and copy that into a new message each time. If the sender really likes the forward method, I don't recommend it, but they can CC themselves, then delete the mailing list post from the folder where they keep such form messages when it arrives. The user's personal CC copy won't go through the list, and it won't have the x-beenthere field, so can be resent "as is" as many times as you like.
