Description
I am testing out mailing lists, and am getting the error below and a MAILING LIST POSTING DENIED response by email when I try to post to a list that I know I am on. Not sure what is going on - I'd appreciate any guidance.
* DEBUG: Processing mailing lists
* DEBUG: Email error: You cannot post to the mailing list 'foo-list@bar', because you are not a member of it. (foo@bar -> Array)

this issue has not gone away. If I add an address that is not associated with a drupal user, I am able to participate as expected. If a registered user ticks the box to subscribe to the mailing list, mail is nevertheless bouncing with the MAILING LIST POSTING DENIED response.
Idea: it would be nice if the bounce message contained a copy of the original message so the sender knows which mail bounced.
Cheers,
Tobias

Do the email address have different character cases (e.g. Bob@somthing vs. bob@something)? If so, I recently fixed this bug in the HEAD.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for the replies on these issues I have been having with convey, and the private email as well.
I'm not sure what you mean about email address having different character cases - are you referring to the drupal user's email address? That is in lower case for the user I am testing with.
Meanwhile, the error has not changed even after upgrading to the beta as of today (is that what you mean by HEAD?) . Here is a sample:
DEBUG: Email error: You cannot post to the mailing list 'foobar-discuss@kabissa.org', because you are not a member of it. (foobar@kabissa.org -> Array)
It seems interesting to me that the error includes "foobar@kabissa.org -> Array" - which may indicate a coding issue?
Cheers,
Tobias
