+9. I set member_posting_only to yes because I want to limit posts to
+ members only, however it seems like all messages coming from
+ members are held for approval.

+ There appears to be a problem on some systems where the envelope
+ sender (e.g. the Unix "From " line) is set incorrectly. This will
+ cause a negative match when checking to see if the sender is a
+ member of the list. Mailman defaults to using the envelope sender
+ before the sender (i.e. "From:" header) because the former is set
+ by the SMTP agent while the latter is easily spoofable by the end
+ user.
+
+ However, if you are having this problem, you may opt to favor the
+ From: header over the envelope sender. Do this by adding the
+ following line to your mm_cfg.py file:
+
+ USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER=0
+
+ However, read the comments about this variable in the Defaults.py
+ file first.
