Please tell us specifically what your Mailman List's Mail<->News gateways settings are? In particular, if your Gmane posts are arriving at Mailman via Mailman's News->Mail Gateway (gateway_to_mail = Yes), Mailman is going to accept everything that comes via that path except for those posts which it sent via gateway_to_news. On the other hand, if the Gmane posts are arriving by mail, as I understand your requirement, you can't do any filtering on Gmane headers because you do not want to either accept, hold or rejece ALL posts from Gmane. You want to accept without holding, those and only those posts which are From: certain addresses. As I have said before in this thread, as long as the Gmane posts are considered to be from a member, the way to do this is to make the acceptable From: addresses members too.
