If you have a stock Mailman installation, the answer is: Because it wasn't posted to the nonexistent list, it was posted to the list where the moderation request is (as a BCC or similar). The nonexistent list just happens to be in the To: or Cc: field. > My questions are... Why is it being held if the list does not > exist?

Since your system doesn't have the list that is visible in the headers, you would need to set up a filter that could guess that a particular address at your site is a nonexistent list. I don't think that's easy. It would be possible to have the spamfilter or a milter reject any message that contains an address that is not valid at your site, but that would surely bring the wrath of the gods on you, since people who write to two people at your site and typo one of them would have their message rejected! ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
