Is the address sample at domain2.com a member of the list?

I do not understand the above. Which of these addresses are members of
the list. Mailman only goes by the exact email address. E.g. even if
userx at example.com is a list member, userx at mail.example.com is not.

As I said, I can't diagnose the issue without knowing what addresses
are list members. The following is in Defaults.py

# Membership tests for posting purposes are usually performed by
looking at a
# set of headers, passing the test if any of their values match a
member of
# the list.  Headers are checked in the order given in this variable. 
The
# value None means use the From_ (envelope sender) header.  Field names
are
# case insensitive.
SENDER_HEADERS = ('from', None, 'reply-to', 'sender')

If this is unchanged in mm_cfg.py, a post will be considered to be from
a list member if any of From:, the envelope sender (Return-Path:),
Reply-To: or Sender: (in that order) contain an exact member address.
