I identifyed the problem, but I am not sure my idea for a solution is really workable.
The problem is that the very first line in the .qmail file for the list contains a reformail line which disallows duplicate posts: |if /usr/bin/reformail -D 8000 /home/lyx/DEVEL//messageid.dat; then exit 99; else exit 0; fi Now it seems that when tmda reinjects the message (after it received a reply to its confirmation request), reformail treats it as a duplicate, and so the list will never see the message. Now to circumvent the problem, I thought about running reformail conditionally. The condition should be a change in the reinjected message. So is there a (TMDA specific) header field the reinjected message contains, but the original post very likely not?
