Hi all
Ever since we had a screwed up mailman list and corrected it, we have been getting the message below.
The xxx@foo.bar mailing list has 2 request(s) waiting for your consideration at:
http://www.foo.bar/mailman/admindb/mailmanPlease attend to this at your earliest convenience. This notice of pending requests, if any, will be sent out daily.
We've deleted the xxx mailing list and recreated it but still get the same message every morning.
Can anyone enlighten me as to what triggers this please? I just want to get rid of them. They were an "accidental" subscribe
TIA
Nigel.
Sorry - should have added:
Follow the link in the notification email but get a:
Mailman Administrative Database There are no pending requests.

Both cron/checkdbs which sends the daily reminder and Cgi/admindb.py which produces the
Mailman Administrative Database There are no pending requests.
message use the exact same method mlist.NumPendingRequests() to determine how many requests there are. I don't see how they can produce different results unless they are somehow importing different versions of ListAdmin.py where the NumPendingRequests() method is defined.
There was a change from 2.1.4 to 2.1.5. The earlier versions keep the requests in a marshal lists/<listname>/request.db, and 2.1.5 and up keep them in a pickle lists/<listname>/request.pck.
Do you possibly have an older Mailman version in a different location and referenced by the cron jobs?
One thing you can do is go to the lists/<listname>/ directory and remove request.* and then go to the admindb page for the list which will create a new request.pck (assuming 2.1.5+) just by virtue of your visiting the page. This may help.

Thanks for the advice.
Check and definitely do not have an old version of Mailman and only one version of ListAdmin.py.
Blew away the request.pck, reloaded admin page and then reran checkdbs - all clear now.
Possible explanation: I previously had some host names and aliases misconfigured and suspect that that might have the problem. When I fixed that I still had the mailman list pointing to the wrong host.
Thanks for the quick response.
