If by 'older' you mean older than 2.1.3, then you are correct. If members are not moderated and generic_nonmember_action is Reject or Discard, then posts via email from members should go directly to the list and posts via email from non-members not in *_these_nonmembers should be rejected or discarded. OTOH, posts arriving via the news->mail gateway are held or not based on the setting of news_moderation regardless of who they are from, although this is not the intended use of the news_moderation setting. Prior to Mailman 2.1.3, posts arriving from usenet via the news-mail gateway were subject to the same membership filtering as posts arriving by email. If you want to restore that behavior, you need to make the change to Mailman/Handlers/Moderate.py that I indicated in my reply at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-March/055896.html>. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
