Maybe a warning in the comments there would be a good idea. It's not like that news2mail is not needed, it’s actually causing problems as Laurens found out. And I am sure mailman is still the most used mailing list software out there.

Mailman needs read and post access to the group in question just like any newsreader would.

I typed that too fast:

There is another supported setup, that is making the group a moderated
group, set the mailman list address as the moderator address and having everything go through
mailman. In this setup mailman can also be used as a moderation interface. I
have only tested this with mailman 2 not with mailman 3.

Cheers
Martin
