My only experience of MM3 is with Ancestry's 'RootsWeb' installation. From the emails I can see a header "X-Mailman-Version: 3.1.0" but I can't find anything to identify Postorius which is the only interface I have to the system.
Isn't there a footer at the bottom of wach page with something like:
Postorius Documentation • GNU Mailman • Postorius Version 1.2.5
From symptoms seen and described by others, I have deduced that the Postorius admin-per-user moderation options of "Default processing" and "List default" mean that a user may be set (by default on the rootsweb system!) to use the system default moderation settings rather than the list default settings.
New (non-)members always have Moderation set to List default. This means their posts are governed by the applicable Settings -> Message Acceptance settings.
Setting a user's Moderation to Default Processing means that users posts will not be held/rejected/discarded/accepted immediately based on "Default action to take when a (non-)member posts to the list", but additional checks will not be bypassed. See <https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/rules/docs/rules.html>.
Are my deductions correct? And if so, could this be the explanation of the issue detailed in this thread?
Setting a user's Moderation to Default Processing (or Accept) would bypass the list defaults and could be the explanation of this issue.
When the non-member owner first posts to the list that address becomes a non-member of the list. I.e. it is in the roster of known non-members of the list and that non-member record could have had its Moderation set to Accept or Default Processing at some point which would explain why the posts are accepted.
