Problems posting to the list??

[Robert Brenstein]

Ruslan,

It seems that this is a popular problem with new Mailman users. 
Turning off this feature does not sound like a good idea since it may 
allow spam to flow in.

After posting to the list, I realized that I do NOT get that message, 
so it must be something specific to Andy's post.

This issue is addressed in Mailman's FAQ:

Here are a few more posts from Mailman's discussion. It seems that 
you are the one who needs to do some checking to figure this out.
