I have a problem with removing failing subscription requests eg from a bogus requester. I thought I could remove the request from a queue somewhere but cannot find it. the subscription requests keep recurring, over 1000 in my maillog -postfix
The requests waiting user confirmation are in the file lists/LIST_NAME/pending.pck. Requests waiting moderator action are in the file lists/LIST_NAME/requests.pck.
There are scripts at https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/ (mirrored at https://fog.ccsf.edu/~msapiro/scripts/) which can help with this. In particular, "erase" and "list_requests". Also, the withlist script "discard_subs.py".
