I had a strange thing happen the other day that is either a bug in Mailman's (v2.1.2) handling of members only lists, or is a bug in the logging of posts.
A member of one of my lists used the "Email Story" link on Yahoo news to mail a news story to the mailing list. This went straight to the list without being held for approval. The From: address was [EMAIL PROTECTED], definitely not a memeber of the list. The only way I knew that it had anything to do with a valid subscriber is because Yahoo was nice enough to put the person's email address in the body of the message: "censored ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) has sent you a news article. (Email address has not been verified.)" Otherwise, there was no sign of a valid subscriber's address either in the message headers or in the mailman logs. The logs only show the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address. I have to assume that the envelope sender was actually my subscriber's address, but that's purely an assumption on my part, since there's no actual evidence of it. IMO, If mailman is going to approve posts based on the envelope sender, then it REALLY needs to both log the envelope sender, and set the "on behalf of" part of the address to the envelope sender, not the From: header line Michael J.
