[Mailman-Users] implicit destination problem

Greetings,
I've got a mailman list (version 2.0.14) behind a firewall.  As a
result, anyone trying to send mail to that list sends it to an
external email address which is of the format:
IB_Meter_Gold_Issues%QUARTZ at foo.bar.com

That address then gets translated internally and forwards the mail to
the mailman list.  The problem is that all the mail for the list is
always held for approval because of the implicit destination.

Normally, i thought that inputing the full email address
(IB_Meter_Gold_Issues%QUARTZ at foo.bar.com) in the mailman privacy
options for aliases that shouldn't be held when there is implicit
destination would allow it to post the message to the list
automatically.  However, that isn't working, and it continues to get
held.  I've also tried listing a regexp:
.*IB

but that too fails.  My best guess is that the % symbol in the email
address is confusing mailman.  Does anyone know if this is the
problem?

Thanks!
Lonni
