I'm noticing that some posts are not appearing in the mailing list.
More specifically, it seems to be posts from users that are registered
in the forum and not in the list. OK, I suppose that makes sense, but
it really makes it hard to keep track of the conversation when
messages are missing (especially when they happen to be from the
person asking for help).

Any ideas on how this could be fixed?

I thought that maybe it was just me, but I might be noticing the same.

No idea on how to resolve it...

Cheers,
Jeffrey Carpenter

Well, the biggest problem is that the mailing list doesn't use its
e-mail address for the messages but that of the sender, so it can't
show messages from people only registered in the forum since it
doesn't have their addresses. This is the part that would need to be
worked around.

Any suggestions for that part? Just use the mailing list's own
address? (it can still be made to show the username since that's
separate from the address itself)

Wasn't that one eventually solved? The problem was Yahoo using a wrong
configuration in their servers which meant every e-mail sent by them
would be labeled as spam as they can't be properly validated, I
thought that was eventually corrected but now I guess not...

You might be right. I still have SDL mails going into my spam, but there
don't appear to have been any from yahoo lately. Nevermind then.

The mailing list gets mass amounts of spam and the forum is relayed to the mailing list, but I have to manually sort through the messages to approve forum posts. I miss a few sometimes.
