I've done something stupid, and I don't know how to get out of it. I'm a moderator for the Knittingbeyondthehebrides group and I've accidentally banned a member. I was half-awake and accidentally clicked on the "permanent ban" button instead of approving her. Now I can't figure out how to get around that and approve the poor woman. Can you help? Is it possible to remove the ban from your end so that I may approve the membership?

Note that this list is for support and assistance with GNU Mailman in general, not specific installations. Nobody here will be able to do anything to your list for you. I'm sure in due course however somebody will be along who knows about Mailman to help you solve the problem though.

If you have access to the list's admin interface, go to Privacy options... -> Subscription rules and remove her address from the ban_list.
If you only have assess to the moderator interface, contact the list owner.

We have nothing at all to do with the management of your list. You need to contact the list owner or the service that hosts your list.
