Hello listadmins,
I've been getting these mailing list probe messages from mailman regularly.
What I suspect might be a problem, is that the message says "a sample is
attached below", but there is no sample bounce message.
Is mailman firing off random probe messages? Or is it forgetting to attach
a bounce message that my email provider sent it?

Hi,
I have a private list that I'm admin for, but seemingly unable to have
mailman enforce the rules for someone that I've added to the non-member
list (not a member, but able to post to the list without intervention from
admins). This person is within the WMF organization and is using their WMF
email address to post to the list.
I've been able to add people to the non-member list prior to this and have
had no issues before, but this is new and frustrating.
Any suggestions on how to fix?
Thanks!
Deb
