Apologies to slug-chat for another cast-off SLUG thread, but I don't
think meta-list-tech-policy discussion is all that interesting for slug@

It's Mailman that's holding his mails for approval, not Postfix. As far
as I know, checking for a valid reverse is a Postfix thing, Postfix
would just bounce the mail - these are being held for approval (and a
message is sent notifying him of that) rather than simply being bounced.
