Public bug reported: It seems when mailman encounters an email address with an underscore embedded in the user name that is sent from a non-member, the held message gets stuck and won't accept accept, defer, reject or delete ie xxx_xxx@domain.com. Tested this by setting up test list, using default setup only changing administrative email and adding one member to accept the forwarded email. When sending from non-member with xxx_xxx@domain.com, moderation web page will accept radio button for action, but no action is taken. The moderation web page for moderation is re-displayed with no action taken. At that point if mailman get other requests from non-members even if thay are other email addresses, mailman will append these to the held messages file and they will all stack up with no way to delete them. I now have 3 held messages in one of my lists. One underscore sandwiched between 2 'normal' email addresses. I have tried: Setting held days with no help Looking at each individually and trying to delete Add user to the mebership list (the moderate screen will then show the moderated user as a member) All with no change. The radio button is activated, submit is hit and mailman takes no action and re-displays the moderator screen. Bluehost has this loaded as a basic service and I cannot get to the files to manually delete the held messages. At this point, the only work around is to delete the entire list and start from default (painful for a big list).
