[Mailman-Users] Private lists and trouble shooting unsubscribes

[Ken Cheney]

I do have access to the box that mailman is on. The vette log shows:

Nov 29 08:05:02 2006 (11992) Mailman post from root at listserv.mydomain.org held, message-id=<200611291305.kATD51Gr025658 at listserv.mydomain.org>: Post by non-member to a members-only list

but the email address I sent to this list from is a member of the list.  Is this a problem maybe in the aliases file?

alias_database = hash:/etc/mailman/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/mailman/aliases

Do you have access to the system logs on the machine mailman is
running on? Can you check mailman's vette log (someone correct me if
I'm wrong, please) to see what's happening to the messages you post?

Is the machine handling mail for mydomain.com the same machine as that
on which mailman runs?
Can you check your MTA (e.g., sendmail, postfix, exim, or qmail) logs
to see what's happening to the request you send to listname-leave?
