It's non-subscriber moderation. I don't know about recent statistics, but historically checking that the poster is a subscriber has been enough to keep out 80-90% of spam. I've registered your address as a nonmember user. You probably should claim that address using the web ui at mail.python.org/mailman3, but your future posts will go through even if you don't claim it. > Today, in the process of handling a subscriber's non-delivery > complaint, I came across this error message in WHM's Mail Delivery > Reports: That's cPanel, right? We'll do what we can, but cPanel Mailman is ancient (I mean we end-of-life'd Mailman 2.1 half a decade ago), and it's heavily patched by cPanel. They or your hosting or email provider should be the first place you go, as we have very little visibility into what can go wrong with cPanel Mailman.

If you mean "r...@cloud-ci.unifiedlayer.com", that should be the owner address of the mailman@YOUR.DOMAIN list. How it got there, you'll have to ask whoever set up the Mailman installation. To change it, you need the password to that list or the site password (the password you need to create lists). For more information: Somewhere there should be a source or documentation directory where you can find mailman-install.txt and probably an HTML-ized version. Search for "mailman-loop" to get to Section 6, and "site list" to get to Section 8. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/ Member address: arch...@mail-archive.com
