I'm not really clear on what you are seeing here, but it seems that the post via fetchmail is being held for moderator approval and the notice to the moderator is not making it from Mailman to the moderator. Is this correct so far? If so, there are two issues. Why is the post held, and what happens to the moderator notice? If you go to the admindb web interface, do you see the post? If so, what is the reason it is held? This info is also in the 'vette' log. I suspect it is "implicit destination". As Patrick said very early in this thread, you have to look at Privacy options...->Recipient filters and either set require_explicit_destination to No or add [EMAIL PROTECTED] to acceptable_aliases. >The only difference between the two sendings is the sender's address - >the post goes through when the sender is @localhost or my FQDN - or to >put it another way, no admin message is generated when the mail >originates from the local machine. Have I missed a configuration >option relating to mail originating from the local machine? How about the To: address? Is it the same in both cases, or is it [EMAIL PROTECTED] in one case and [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the other. If the latter, see above. As far as the notice to the admin getting stuck, I'm not sure. The message >2006-10-14 19:26:57 1GYoDp-00066c-Ec ** [EMAIL PROTECTED]: >Unrouteable address seems to be saying that something was sent and bounced to listname-bounces and that address is unroutable.
