Hello,
I don't know if this is appropriate, but I want to share it if someone finds it useful:
I have written an app for moderating mails from your mailman lists. You can add multiple lists and get an overview of all the pending moderation requests. The app shows details about every mail like size, preview of the mail and moderation reason and you can approve/reject/discard the mail(s).
iMailModerate is available on the AppStore for 0,99$.
Best regards, Manuel Weiel

I've done list moderation from my iPhone before, and let's just say that the web interface for Mailman doesn't translate so well to the small screen. Manuel's program looks to make that easier.

When scrubbing an image attachment such as a jpeg, Mailman seems to always orient it into landscape mode - irrespective of the orientation of the original. Is there some way to prevent this?
With many thanks in advance, malgosia askanas

Whatever is doing what you observe, it's not Mailman. It may be the web browser that opens the link to the scrubbed attachment or something else, but Mailman makes no changes whatsoever to the content of the attachment. Mailman just decodes the (presumably base64 encoded) content and saves it in a file and provides a URL to access the file.

Mark, thank you very much for your help, which got me on the right track. Indeed, the problem is that iPad photos, even when they are taken with a portrait orientation, always carry Exif data that claim a landcape orientation. Web browsers and many mail clients orient pictures according to the Exif information. So, to make a long story short, if I remove the incorrect Exif orientation-info from those pictures before sending them to Mailman, they display correctly after scrubbing.
Thanks again, -malgosia

I have just purchased the app and am having difficulty with configuration:
Mail Address is my address? Or the list's mail address?
Password is the moderation password?
Under Advanced Options:
URL is the server URL? e.g. server.lists.org? Or does it need to be http://server.lists.org? or even http://server.lists.org/mailman/admin
Thanks, looking forward to getting this working!
