I'm running Mailman-2.1.1. I have a message to one of my closed lists from a non-member that I want to approve. It's less than an hour old, and the confirmation request is sitting in my mailbox this very moment.
Problem is, (1) it doesn't show up on the list's admindb page, (2) if I try to approve it via email, MailMan tells me the confirmation string is invalid or has expired.
Any suggestions, anyone?

Phil,
I had this happen to me several times in the past few months. The list admin in each case always swore that he/she had not discarded the message.
So, I took the original message (attached to your confirmation message) and saved it to disk. Then put that file on the Mailman server and used ~mailman/bin/inject to directly inject it into the Mailman queue and then quickly approve via the web.
Hope this helps.

Depending on list configuration, the poster of the message being held for moderation is sent an email with a URL which gives _them_ the option to withdraw the posting. If they make that choice before you, the list administrator respond you will find the message is no longer there to approve. Just a thought.
