We're in the process of changing this.  This is why the message above says
the message is being help, rather than rejected.

When when a message is held, we'll check to make sure the sender is valid
and then add the sender to a list of valid non-member senders for the list.

I has preciously made this change for zope-cvs and zope3-checkins. I just
made it for zope-checkins and cmf-checkins.
