Hi Mark,
Thank you for your reply.
Please post to the list, not to me personally.
Point taken. And sure, you are Mark, not Larry, sorry ;-)
However, the above messages, presumably from Mailman's vette log, come from two different PIDs. Thus, I'm guessing that you are approving these messages via the admindb web interface, and something is going wrong in that process resulting in the message being discarded by the admindb CGI itself.
That is right, these are vette-log entries and the approving attempt is done via the admindb web interface.
I found out that as soon as the list-administrator just selects the link in the ".... requires approval" message as sent by mailman, ("Reason: Post by non-member to a members-only list") the message is discarded at that very moment! (vette log update detected)
After that the following is displayed: |Action to take on all these held messages: |Defer Accept Reject Discard
but *no* pending message is there to Accept.
Have you modified admindb.py in any way?
No!
Does the web admin interface work?
Except for the murdering of pending messages the interface works flawlessly.
What Mailman version is this?
mailman-2.1.9-4.el5 (RPM)
How exactly are you approving messages?
As said before: by selecting the link in the mailman-sent message.
Best regards and thank you for your help,
