I sent this to the main users list but didn't get a response. Hopefully a developer will know what's going on.

Thanks

We recently migrated from majordomo to mailman and created all the lists via a perl script. 99% of the lists transfered just fine however some of them seem to fail to actually perform their actions though mailman thinks that they did. For example a user tried to subcribe, got the confirmation but dumping the database shows he's not in the list (nor is the request pending in requests.db (it is a simple confirmation list.))

From the logs:

subscribe:Apr 02 11:19:51 2003 (17495) hsci: pending Eric Eide <edited> 155.98.63.200 subscribe:Apr 02 11:20:27 2003 (17498) hsci: new "edited" <Eric Eide> subscribe:Apr 02 11:23:23 2003 (17518) hsci: pending Eric Eide <edited> 155.98.63.200 subscribe:Apr 02 11:23:43 2003 (17520) hsci: new "edited" <Eric Eide>

I've replaced the actual email addr with "edited". If I delete the list with rmlist and create it via the web interface all is fine. Here is a difference of the config.pck before and after the list was removed and recreated:

diff hsci_old.dumpdb hsci_new.dumpdb 33c33 < 'created_at': 1048126881.44232,

'created_at': 1049309007.866532,

37c37 < 'description': 'Hsci',

'description': 'High School Computing Initiative',

83c83 < 'next_request_id': 21,

'next_request_id': 1,

109c109 < 'subject_prefix': '[Hsci] ',

'subject_prefix': u'[Hsci] ',

All the perms on files also look fine (at least not different than any other list we're running.)

We're running on Solaris9, with Python 2.2.2, and Mailman 2.1.1

Thanks, Todd
