This may be a naive answer, but it looks to me like resend checks the
subject and body of mail for key words that indicate administrative
requests rather than real postings and bounces all such mail to the list
owner for appropriate action, either approval to post or response to a
mis-directed administrative request:
# check for administrivia requests
if (defined($opt_s) && ! defined($approved)
&& (/^subject:\s*subscribe\b/i ||
/^subject:\s*unsubscribe\b/i ||
/^subject:\s*help\b/i ||
/^subject:\s*RCPT:\b/ ||
/^subject:\s*Delivery Confirmation\b/ ||
/^subject:\s*NON-DELIVERY of:/ ||
/^subject:\s*Undeliverable Message\b/ ||
/^subject:\s*Receipt Confirmation\b/ ||
/^subject:\s*Failed mail\b/ ||
/^subject:\s.*\bchange\b.*\baddress\b/ ||
/^subject:\s*request\b.*\baddition\b/i)) {
&bounce("Admin request");
and:
# add admin-request recognition heuristics here... (body)
if (defined($opt_s) && ! defined($approved) && ($body_line++ < 5) &&
(
/\badd me\b/i
|| /\bdelete me\b/i || /\bremove\s+me\b/i
|| /\bchange\b.*\baddress\b/
|| /\bsubscribe\b/i || /^sub\b/i
|| /\bunsubscribe\b/i || /^unsub\b/i
|| /^\s*help\s*$/i # help
|| /^\s*info\s*$/i # info
|| /^\s*info\s+\S+\s*$/i # info list

|| /^\s*config\b/i
|| /^\s*newconfig\b/i
|| /^\s*writeconfig\b/i

)) {
&bounce("Admin request");
}
If you really don't want this checking to be done, try turning off the
"administriva" option in your config file.
