right. but.. if they are not on the list they should not be approved - i mean the posting is allowed ONLY to members (member_posting_only) so why is mailman holding messages for approval that's not coming from members at all?
Those messages aren't approved -- they're held. They're held because they're coming from non-members, and you've got the server configured to hold all posts that are not otherwise approved (i.e., from a known listmember or on the "white list").
You're hanging up on the word "approved" to be meaning that you see the message, either as a list member or as the list owner. That is not correct. If a post is "approved", then it is sent to the list so that all list members will get a copy. If it's not approved, then it may be held for moderation, but that does *not* mean that the post is "approved".
