That will work and is probably what you want anyway. Your own posts will also be held, but you can just accept them. Alternatively, you could set your own Moderation setting to Accept or Default Processing so your posts won't be held, but don't do that as it allows anyone to post by spoofing your address in From:, Sender: or Reply-To: or the envelope sender. The best way to post without the post being held is pre-approval with an Approved: <password> header, where <password> is the list's moderator_password, but you can't set that in postorius so it won't work for you. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

How could I fix that? That's because domain owner in a Mailman thing and involvs the Mailman user. You could delete the Django users via the Django admin UI and then re-register them via Postorius.

It is the MTA at mail.example.coop that is reporting the bounce of some message from the techque(a)example.org list. The log messages you see are Mailman's receipt of the bounce DSN. Bounce DSNs are always sent with a null envelope sender so if they are undeliverable, it doesn't result in another bounce.
