Does your list generate a complaint message back to the sender if a
non-subscriber posts to it? If so, it qualifies as a subscribers-only
list.

And as I said, "does your list generate a complaint message back to
the sender?" It's the moderation message that's the problem.

It doesn't send a complaint, it sends a useful note that your message is
pending moderation.
The rest appears to be your personal issue Matt, perhaps caused by not
setting up smart enough mail filters ?

My observation is actually from the other side, Alan. I run a list
that used to send exactly such messages and got complaints from people
in this community about running a subscribers-only list. My natural
conclusion was that the messages were considered to be a problem.
Given that the moderation messages from Mailman actually mention
"subscribers-only", I can't blame non-subscribers for feeling
thwarted, frustrated, annoyed, or inconvenienced when they receive it.
Since I was already whitelisting legitimate posters, I simply turned
off the moderation messages back to the poster. Now the fact that the
list is moderated is completely transparent and no one gets any rude
automated messages.

It's another waste of space in my inbox due to poorly-implemented
software.
If their mailman installation uses a whitelist, so I get *one* message
per list rather than a bounce for every message I send, then that's
somewhat acceptable. If I get mailbombed just for participating in a
thread on lkml, that's definitely not acceptable (and I will remove such
lists from the Cc).
It would be vastly better if mailman were smart enough to autoapprove
threaded replies -- it's not as if the spammers are any more likely to
forge In-Reply-To: than From: (which they already do). Or even to not
waste my time by sending a "held for moderation" message until it's
processed by the listowner.

Not sure what ad hominem attacks have to do with this situation. It's
not as if I can reasonably /dev/null all mailman gunk; if there's a real
exception condition, I want to see it.

there's a difference between getting a response that says it's being
held pending a moderator approving it and a response that says it's
been flat out rejected until you subscribe
