What does the BOUNCED line say? Does it say: ADMIN REQUEST? It could be
that you have your list set up to filter out administrative requests, which
means that majordomo will bounce any message with the words subscribe,
unsubscribe, help, info, lists or several others in the first five lines.
While I find this sometimes useful as a feature, it's often a PITA, esp. if
you're running a help list where people routinely use those words in their
posts.
Or does the bounced line say: INVALID APPROVAL or something like that?
I approve messages by adding the following THREE lines at the beginning of
the message to be approved:
-----------------------------
Approved: passwd
From: fill in sender
Subject: fill in subject
Paste message here. Address message to listname@site.com.
------------------------------
For what it's worth, I find the approval process often quite tricky, and
have even seen some of my messages go right to the list WITH the approval
lines (and passwords) still in them...
Sorry not to be of much more help.
