I figured out my error. I was trying to be fancy and (1) have the mailserv_access mapping refer to a mailing list, and (2) use subaddresses in the mailing list. It seems that if the authorization file contains bob+other-stuff@camb.com then bob@camb.com doesn't match and isn't considered authorized. I guess this is expected behavior. Is there a reasonable way for me to use subadresses in a mailing list and still use that list as the basis of authorization tests? (My first thought was to run a daily batch job that converts the mailing list into an authorization list, stripping the subaddressing, but I really don't want to get into parsing rfc822 addresses.)
