Problem with messages held in Moderator Queue
I run a mailman (2.1.14-3ubuntu0.1) mailing list for a client. There are currently 14 emails stuck in the moderator queue. We've tried over and over again to choose to Discard them and click on Submit.
Every time, the HTTP request POSTs to /cgi-bin/mailman/admindb/mailing-list-name-here, which 301 redirects to the same URL and the GET request loads exactly the same as before (i.e. it didn't remove any of the stuck emails).
I've had a look at the filesystem and the /var/lib/mailman/lists/mailing-list-name-here/request.pck file's timestamp gets updated.
That file (and the ones named /var/lib/mailman/data/heldmsg-mailing-list-name-here-10.pck) are owned by the "list" group which has "www-data" as a member (Nginx operates as www-data).
Can anyone suggest what I should try next to get the web interface working?
I know they can be deleted via a command line script, but I'm assuming if I do that, I'm going to be always doing this and I want the client to be able to do it themselves via the web interface.
Many thanks,
Andy

That's the issue. The redirect is losing the POST data. See the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/ioA9 (3rd paragraph).

Fix your web server to not redirect. If this is a redirect from http to https, see paragraph 2 of the above FAQ.
