Thanks Mark,

But:

1.  I am moderated, but member_moderation_action is hold

2.  If I switch off my moderation bit, the behavior is unaffected

3.  I am subscribed to the list under two addresses and sending from
either I get discarded

4. discard_these_nonmembers is blank and generic_nonmember_action
 is hold

5. forward_auto_discards is set to Yes, so I see the discards, but with no explanation as to why

Given point 4, I don't understand how mailman can do anything but hold the message for approval, whether I am correctly subscribed or not.  I am more than happy to provide admin access to this list if you feel like having a play.

thanks again
Brian
