Thanks. I don't read debian-devel so I hadn't seen it. As Ludovic noted
Alioth does sender verification, which is a pretty effective spam
filter.

exim passed it on to mailman:

2004-08-31 03:20:17 1C24oG-000124-It SA: Debug: SAEximRunCond expand returned: '0'
2004-08-31 03:20:17 1C24oG-000124-It SA: Notice: Not running SA because SAEximRunCond expanded to false
2004-08-31 03:20:18 1C24oG-000124-It <= rousseau@debian.org H=localhost [127.0.0.1]:37806 I=[127.0.0.1]:25 P=smtp S=406
2004-08-31 03:20:18 1C24oG-000124-It => |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post pkg-bins-commits <pkg-bins-commits@lists.alioth.debian.org> R=forward_for_gforge_lists T=address_pipe
2004-08-31 03:20:18 1C24oG-000124-It Completed

but mailman does not accept it:

Aug 31 03:20:04 2004 (4691) post to pkg-bins-commits from pkg-bins-commits-admin@lists.alioth.debian.org, size=402, 1 failures

and this is why:

Aug 31 03:21:01 2004 (6113) pkg-bins-commits post from rousseau@debian.org held: Post by non-member to a members-only list

so you will either need to reconfigure the list, send using a different
address or add rousseau@debian.org as a list subscriber.

FWIW, the kernel folks are also generating some rejections by posting
overly large mails:

Aug 31 13:16:05 2004 (14844) Kernel-svn-changes post from kyle@haydn.debian.org held: Message body is too big: 7164904 bytes but there's a limit of 40KB
