Approve/Deny moderated posts via email - my failure to understand how
I have the same question as here:
Re: [Mailman-Users] Approve/Deny moderated posts via email - my failure to understand how https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg64564.html
After reading Mark's reply, I understand a little more, but I still do not have success. The message I receive back is:
*Bad approval password given. Held message is still being held.*
What is the list password that is required? I have tried the list admin password and the list moderators password. Either those are not the required password or I am putting them in the wrong location in the message.
Appreciate any help. Thanks.
Regards, David

The fact that you get the "Bad approval password" response indicates you have included the Approved: header or first body line, but the password doesn't match the list admin password or the list moderator password. The header/line should be exactly
Approved: password
where password is the list admin or moderator password. If that's what you're sending without any quotes or <> around the password, it is possible that you are composing a 'rich text' reply and your MUA is creating a text/plain alternative which has somehow munged the Approved: line.
You can check this by including yourself in a Bcc: on the reply and then examining the raw source of the Bcc: message.
Note that if you sent an HTML only message, The Approved: line wouldn't be seen at all because only the first text/plain part if any is examined.
