Moderation requests for my unmoderated list
I have a status list. All the systems I manage, I’ve configured root’s mail to be directed to this list. The list is completely unmoderated because of the sheer number of systems send mail to it. The *problem* was that as list owner, I was receiving moderation requests for system messages. The key here is exactly what the moderation message tells you: “the message has an implicit destination”. If Mailman doesn’t detect the list address in the To or Cc, by default, it gets flagged for moderation. System aliases don’t by nature work. Privacy Options –> Recipient filters –> “require_explicit_destination” to “No”.
