John -- and Eric -- I just tested: an email to the list from an

expect this is an expedient anti-spam measure.
Maybe I'm not understanding what is meant by "disappearing into the bit
bucket" but your test "OT - test of mailing from an unsubscribed address"
came through to me and is also in the archives.
that message came via Bruce's gmail account, despite the From:
address; mailman looks at the envelope-from info in the hidden
"Received:" headers rather than the From: line
i can attest from several experiences that messages from
non-subscribers are simply swallowed — there's no bounce message and
they don't show up on the list; i know because the plugin i use that
selects an account for outgoing messages sometimes doesn't work
That's what I thought should happen - I've occasionally tried posting
from my Fastmail account (by mistake - probably after one too many
reds) and the messages didn't get through.
I just wondered how Bruce's got through from an unsubscribed address -
thanks for the explanation.
