How do you remove the Hold on all non-member forwarded emails?
Hi Mailman3 users, I have recently started using mailman3 and it's a wonderful piece of software.
But I am having trouble using one of its configurations. I configured my mailmain3 instance to accept all non-member emails, as I want all emails that are sent to the mailman client to go to all subscribers without having it held for moderation -- I did this by setting this setting:

Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined. (Details for generic_nonmember_action) -> "Accept"
But this doesn't work for forwarded emails. Even if the email address that is being forwarded from is included in the "List of non-member addresses whose postings should be automatically accepted."
I noticed that all emails that are forwarded to the mailing list are always held for moderation -- though this isn't the case for email that are sent to the mailing list directly. But I want it so that emails that are even forwarded to my mailman mailing list don't get held in moderation.
How do I set mailman to do this? I was thinking if there is no way to configure this easily then I might have to do this from the code, which means I might have to ask on the developer mailing list -- or I have to go with an entirely different solution (using something other than mailman3).
I hope someone here is willing to help, and in either case thanks for anyone that is willing enough to read this.
Sincerely,

That screen shot and language is from Mailman 2.1, not Mailman 3.

Please clarify whether you are using Mailman 2.1 or Mailman 3.
There should be no difference between a message sent directly vs. a forwarded message. What is the reason given for why the message is held?
Also, the appropriate list for Mailman 2.1 is mailman-users@python.org <https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/>.

I had no idea this was mailman 2.1, maybe that's the reason why. I will try to do this with mailman3, and see if the same issue occurs.
