I think from what I have seen over the years, that poplinks in xmail bypass many of the normal incoming mail checks. Things like max message size, mailbox size limits, etc., and of course what you found, closed mail list checks.
I think there would need to be a redesign of the poplink architecture if this was to be fixed. Currently poplink just gets the mail, determines whom it goes to, and drops it in the spool. For normal mail, most of the checks that are done, are done before the mail is dropped in the spool. This is where poplinks manages to bypass the checks.

Lets say they are [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Suppose the mailing list is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Consider the following: * The mails for [EMAIL PROTECTED] are popped from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then they are distributed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] * When some one say [EMAIL PROTECTED] tries to send mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] xmail denies it since the mailing list is closed. * However if [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], they are popped by xmail and later they are distributed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] *This is where it becomes interesting. Since [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not among the mailing list member, the mail sent by it should either be mailed to the administrator or they be deleted* However none of the above is happening. Do I stand correct?
