Do you mean (as implied by your access to the inbox) that this is your
personal address?
Yeah, one of several :)
If so, I don't know if GMail allows this, but is it possible that you
configured that account to automatically have an Approved header?
No, but...
This reminded me that I had set the Reply-To for chira...@gmail.com to
atho...@adf.org (this account).
So I just removed the Reply-To in the Gmail settings, and tried posting
again, and got the expected rejection notice - yay.
However, this raised another question - why did the Reply-To setting
affect the behavior of Mailman?
So, I tried posting to this list (adf-www) from a completely unrelated
account, a...@sigilservices.com. As expected, I got the post sent back
to me with the nonmember_rejection_notice text.
BUT, when I sent a post from a...@sigilservices.com with a Reply-To of
atho...@adf.org (which *is* subscribed to the adf-www) list, instead of
getting a rejection notice back to a...@sigilservices.com, instead "Your
message to ADF-WWW awaits moderator approval" was sent to atho...@adf.org!
This is very weird behavior - it's weird that Mailman would behave
differently when the From has not changed, but the Reply-To header has,
especially since it's so easy to set that to anything one wants.
I guess my initial issue is resolved, since I had forgotten about
setting the Reply-To in GMail - and I do apologize for that.
But it's still odd that Mailman would act differently based on the value
in the Reply-To field, unless I'm not understanding something correctly.
Thanks Stephen, and Mark too, for your help.
(And while I'm at it, how do I request a feature for a future release?
I was glad that there is a nonmember_rejection_notice field, but would
have really liked to see a nonmember_hold_notice field too!)
thanks,
Anthony
