Ok, I went digging through the code (I've really got to learn more Python). It looks like the def for HanderAPI.DeliverToList got changed, but the instance where ListAdmin.py uses it didn't. Or ListAdmin.py got changed, but HandlerAPI hasn't caught up? Dunno. ListAdmin assumes the third arg is a newdata= format, but the API just shows the third arg as msgdata. So I made this patch, and suddenly all the admindb approval stuff is working again:
