What's the envelope sender address ("rcpt to") for these messages?  Is it
perhaps an address that subscribed with the mod flag set?  It's possible to
have one address in the body "From" header and another in the envelope
sender address, and I'm not sure which takes precedence, but I believe that
if one is found among the subscribed members, and the mod flag is set for
that address, then that trumps the allowed non-members list.

I could be all wet on this, but I've seen the same problem with some of my
customers' lists from time to time and it's always something wonky like
this.
