This is strange. Ordinarily, I would say that one of your list
subscribers uses the dropspam.com mail filtering service and the
"approval" message from dropspam.org in response to a received list
post is being sent back to the list and accepted for posting.

It seems that this scenario is somewhat correct except from the
contents of the "approval" message, the subscriber appears to be
emag at adoptionweek.com which appears to be the list posting address so
I'm confused as to what your setup actually is.

In any case, if you follow the suggestion in
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.034.htp
and moderate everyone and post using "approved:", the dropspam.com
"approval" message won't make it through to the list.
