Found the problem. It's a lengthy explanation, but someone else might profit from it.

The mailing lists are set for restricted posting (only members can post). The FUD forum sends messages to the mailing lists as "from" the author. Messages posted by those who use the web forum only and are not members of the mailing list(s) will bounce as "non-member" submissions when they're sent to the majordomo list(s). I have a list of alternate acceptable addresses for those who post to the list(s) from more than one, and intended to add the forum-only users to it as they posted, then re-send the bounced messages. This only needs to be done once for each user who posts, but there were many of them the first few days after the new forum went online. My usual habit when re-sending bounced list mail is to add the "Approved:" header and delete all but the necessary ones. I had been unwittingly deleting the FUD-generated header in the process. That will not happen again.

BTW, the "old" FuseTalk forum from which we changed to FUD integrated with the mailing lists much differently. It sent all messages to the list(s) from one generic user, not the original author. For this reason, this situation did not exist and forum users were not already added to the alternate list. Also, I like the way FUD integrates with the mailing lists MUCH, MUCH more. To mailing list users, it looks like everyone is on the mailing list. To forum users, it looks like everyone is on the forum. It's great!!
