Mac OS X Server 10.3: Approved member unable to post to a mailing list

  • Last Modified: September 09, 2008

Symptoms

If an approved mailing list member does not have matching addresses entered, he can only post to the list with admin approval.

He receives an email saying that his post is being held until a list moderator can review it for approval. The list admin receives an email requesting authorization for the post.

Products Affected

Mac OS X Server 10.3

Resolution

First, verify that the list member is authorized to post to the list. Open Server Admin and navigate to Mailing Lists. Select the name of the mailing list in question. The "Post" checkbox next to the list member's name must be selected.

If a user was added via the "Users and Groups" button, the email address in the list will be in the form of "user@server.domain.com". The email address the user is sending from and the address in the mailing list must exactly match, or the user will be unable to post to the list without administrator approval. If necessary, change the email address in the mailing lists panel of Server Admin to match the return address used by the client.
