You suspect correctly.  This error indicates that Mailman doesn't see any
address it recognizes as referring to the list in either the To: or Cc:
header.  There are three ways to fix this (listed in order from most to least
desirable, based on the criterion of not making it easier to spam the list):

1)  Edcuate your users to send messages to the real list address.

2)  On the "Privacy Options" page, add the address people are currently using
under "Alias names (regexps) which qualify as explicit to or cc destination
names for this list."

3)  On the "Privacy Options" page, turn off "Must posts have list named in
destination (to, cc) field (or be among the acceptable alias names, specified
below)?"
