First, 'Hold' is a valid parameter for 'Send= Editor,...'; it is not a valid
parameter for 'Send= Private,...'.

Second, 'Send=Private,...' means that you must be a subscriber in order to post
to the list. If she was able to post in the past, and the list configuration
has not changed, then she was apparently posting from an address that is/was
subscribed to the list. If she can no longer post to the list, then either her
return address has changed or it is no longer subscribed to the list.

If the list configuration contains a 'Service=' statement, it would be a good
idea to verify that the user's return address is in the defined service area.
The documentation states that the 'Service=' keyword "defines the 'service
area' outside of which subscription requests must not be accepted", however,
we have found that it also affects the ability to post to the list.
