Good.

If you use Mailman's news -> mail gateway to gate messages from a news group on a news server to the Mailman list. you won't have this problem.

I'm trying to not use Mailman's news to email gateway because of its "polling" aspect. I can have my news server "push" new messages to Mailman in a more timely and more efficiency manner.

If the message to Mailman contains a

Approved: password

header where password is the list admin or list moderator password, all the normal holds and moderation checks except header_filter_rules will be bypassed. The header will be removed before the message is distributed.

Ok... That might work. It's good to know that the header is removed and not accidentally exposed to the mailing list (for those that would look).

Note that this has nothing to do with mm-handler or other delevery to mailman method. Even with mm-handler, delivery to Mailman is still via the mail/mailman wrapper, so mm-handler has no way to manipulate the message's metadata which is initialized by the post script invoked by the wrapper.

Ok. I said "mm-handler" as an idea, not specifically that script. "Mm-handler" just happened to be what I use as a mailer in Sendmail so that is what came to mind.

Is there an option that can be passed to mail/mailman that does what I'm asking for?
