[Mailman-Developers] A list where no subscriber can post: can anyone spot the bad config?

[Terri Oda]

I've got a list where, for some reason, I can post, but no one else 
seems to be able to.

It *looks* like I can post because I was somehow in 
accept_these_nonmembers.  It's a list converted from Mailman 2.1, so I'm 
suspicious that it's some sort of cruft in the config.  I'm pasting in a 
mildly anonymized version of the config.  Can anyone spot anything that 
could be causing all messages to go to moderation?

This list is also on a mailman bundler install that may not have been 
updated correctly (aka I guessed and tried buildout on it), but the 
problems with posting predate that.  I think, honestly, that I'm at the 
point where I should dump the rosters and re-recreate all the lists on 
this machine.  (They're relatively small, all under 20 subscribers I think)
