I set member_posting_only to yes because I want to limit posts to members only, however it seems like all messages coming from members are held for approval. Why? A. There appears to be a problem on some systems where the envelope sender (e.g. the Unix From line) is set incorrectly. This will cause a negative match when checking to see if the sender is a member of the list. Until 1.0b12, Mailman defaulted to using the envelope sender before the sender (i.e. From: header) because the former is set by the SMTP agent while the latter is easily spoofable by the end user. [ The possible causes for envelope sender munging taking place are many, but the owner-alias sendmail feature probably deserves special mention: If mail arrives for list foo, and there is an alias entry for owner-foo as well, the envelope sender of the message will be changed to the single-level expansion of the owner-foo alias. Code has been included in post-1.0rc2 Mailman releases to try working around the problem this (unconfigurable) sendmail feature constitutes. Prior to this, some people worked around the problem by not including the suggested owner-LISTNAME alias entries for Mailman lists in their alias files. ] However, if you are having this problem, you may opt to favor the From: header over the envelope sender. Do this by adding the following line to your mm_cfg.py file: USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER=0 if you want (arguably) more security, add this to your mm_cfg.py file: USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER=1 However, read the comments about this variable in the Defaults.py file for a full discussion of the issues. By default, Mailman 2.0 relies on the From: header for doing address matching. - -- The gift of compressing the largest number of words into the smallest amount of thought - -Winston Churchill, on Prime Minister Ramsay McDonald (whom Churchill also labeled the boneless wonder) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9Rs2y+5AbbCEHPXwRAtoUAKCHPaeU5Asse+WqDiUmbInJJQkYggCeL4xe G3tyy/hZCWr7SH5A46/Dfd0= =3bwB -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/

I've had some difficulties with this, because my username is [EMAIL PROTECTED], but I email from [EMAIL PROTECTED]; the latter is an alias for the former, but mailman doesn't know that. Consequently, if I'm not careful about giving other mailing lists the right subscription information, I'll get my messages put in queue to be processed by the administrator. Is that similar to your problem? Steve Thanks for the reply. Doesn't appear to be.

I set member_posting_only to yes because I want to limit posts to members only, however it seems like all messages coming from members are held for approval. Why? No.I set up a new list for testing. First, I made the list un-moderated and subscribed. The message was delivered without requesting approval. Secondly, I made the list moderated and posting from the administrator account the message requested approval. Lastly, I moved to another computer, a WIN 98, with a different internet account, made that account an administrator, subscribed, and tried to post. The result was that both administrators received a message requesting approval. Maybe that is the way it is supposed to work? Thanks for your help.

On the Privacy Option page put the address you will be posting from in the Addresses of members accepted for posting to this list without implicit approval requirement box. That worked. Thanks.
