[Bug 1648933] [NEW] admin_immed_notify=yes and respond_to_post_requests=yes has no effect for member posts even when emergency=yes
Public bug reported: Our configuration includes 'admin_immed_notify' = 'yes', and 'respond_to_post_requests' = 'yes'. Due to spam with targeted spoofing of list member addresses we had to configure 'emergency' = 'yes'. But both the notifications to the moderators as well as the reply to the poster informing them of the hold action only works for non-members! Member posts are held without the poster being notified, they get confused about what happened to their post, they will sometimes re-post several times, until the next day a moderator gets the digest of their piled-up posts. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1648933 Title: admin_immed_notify=yes and respond_to_post_requests=yes has no effect for member posts even when emergency=yes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1648933/+subscriptions

As it says in the docstring in Mailman/Handlers/Emergency.py """Put an emergency hold on all messages otherwise approved. No notices are sent to either the sender or the list owner for emergency holds. I think they'd be too obnoxious. """ If you really want this, I've attached a patch that will do it. ** Changed in: mailman Status: New => Won't Fix ** Changed in: mailman Assignee: (unassigned) => Mark Sapiro (msapiro) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1648933 Title: admin_immed_notify=yes and respond_to_post_requests=yes has no effect for member posts even when emergency=yes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1648933/+subscriptions
Wow, that was quick. I applied the patch and it does exactly what I need: members and moderators are informed of held messages immediately.
