Unexplained Email::Receiver::InvalidPost errors

Got a few mailing lists mirrored over at https://forum.torproject.org/c/mailing-lists/23

We recently noticed a few messages were not being mirrored from the Mailman3 mailing list to the forum.

The email rejection logs show these emails having encountered a Email::Receiver::InvalidPost error.

The error message logged is either of those two:

We’re sorry, but your email message to [“tor-relays@lists.torproject.org”] (titled [tor-relays] authority bandwidth measurements and latency) didn’t work.

Reason:

Access Denied

If you can correct the problem, please try again.

or:

We’re sorry, but your email message to [“tor-relays@lists.torproject.org”] (titled [tor-relays] Re: webtunnel bridges for the telegram distributor) didn’t work.

Reason:

Something has gone wrong. Perhaps this topic was closed or deleted while you were looking at it?

If you can correct the problem, please try again.

I can’t find anything wrong with these messages from looking at the headers, although in some instances, the extracted body as logged only contains the mailing list footer, or in another instance, it’s a bunch of gibberish characters like there was some decoding glitch.

I’ve tried to reproduce this issue using a test mailing list and test category but was unsuccessful. Any help debugging this would be appreciated.
