Hi Mark

I rebuild Mailman 2.1.8 and referred
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.014.htp
for all the check points, I have two issues now

1) Not getting "Welcome to the Test Mailing List"
2)when I send mails from kaushalshriyan at gmail.com to test at mydomain.com I get

Your mail to 'Test' with the subject

   Test Mail

Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.

The reason it is being held:

   Post by non-member to a members-only list

Any Clue would be a great help.

Thanks once again for all the help
