Re: Non-member submissions being accepted by lists.

This is because of your aliases file.  Any message coming in which
matches one of your aliases will be automatically processed.  You should
mask your aliases to something other than the standard:

Listname-list

You should make it something else (random):

Listname-123-list
List-listname

Anything will work...

Thanks,

Rob

Subject: Non-member submissions being accepted by lists.

I run several mailing lists at the University of Idaho. I use Majordomo 
1.94.3 on an HP-UX box.

Recently, we have discovered that our mailing lists are accepting posts 
from non-subscribers if they are sent to our server in the form:

[email protected]_name

instead of

[email protected]_name

the key being the string "-list" following the normal list name.

This appears to be a bug in Majordomo. Is there a fix for this?
