Hi all
I have a list which uses Mailman 2.1.27 running on cPanel 78.0.44.
The list has a size limit for the contributions (max_message_size).
When a user sends a message which exceeds the limit, he receives a message that his contribution will either need approval of a moderator or be deleted.
Can this message be edited so that the user is informed that his contribution is deleted (so not to mention the possibility of a moderator approval)?
And is it possible to "auto-delete" contributions exceeding the size limit - without the interaction of a moderator?
Thank you, Christian

Hi Christian,
I believe the template that governs that message is the postheld.txt. It seems to be a generic template that is used for any post that is held for any reason. You can access this template via your list admin interface and it is called "User notice of held post". To access it click on the "Edit the public HTML pages and text files" link in your list admin interface.

Brian has answered this, but note as he says, the postheld.txt template is generic for all held messages, not just those held for being too big.
And is it possible to "auto-delete" contributions exceeding the size limit - without the interaction of a moderator?
Not without modifying source code.

Thank you, Mark Sapiro and Brian Carpenter, for the responses.
In what cases will the "User notice of held post" be used by the system (or, asked differently: in what cases will messages be held)?
I believe this is only if a non-member wants to send something or when the message is too big. Are there other cases as well?
Thanks again Christian
