[Mailman-Users] member_posting_only

> 	Those messages aren't approved -- they're held.


ok, Brad. thanks. sure. they are held. held for approval. they are not
"approved". true.

are they from subscribed members? some. most are not.

but the setting says members_postings_only = 'yes' (ONLY!)

ok.

but there are about 60-70% messages that come from non members. they are
held too. held for approval. or to be discarded. why?

i don't know. they are not members. they should not be held. at all.

in short the logic says: "no, they should not even considered to be held
for approval. they are sent to the list by non members (spammers). the
list is restricted so that ONLY members can post. that means any post from
anybody not on the list doesn't matter - it's not important. shouldn't be
held for approval."

what is not clear in the statement members_postings_only='yes'?
'yes' or 'only'? i guess i'm hanging on "only". wouldn't you?

sorry....  thanks...
