Hello When one of the posts is waiting for moderation, Mailman keeps sending me a reminder every few days. What can I do so not to receive the reminder so often? For example I want to receive only weekly reminders or once every two weeks. I mean I want an immediate notification when there is a post pending for moderation, but the reminder should be sent only every two weeks. It's even OK if Mailman does not send any reminders after the first notification.

This is a crontab entry, so simply adjust the checkdbs crontab entry...

Become root and: # crontab -e -u mailman

The crontab editor will pop up, and you will see an entry like this in the list, change it as necessary for your needs:

# At 8AM every day, mail reminders to admins as to pending requests. # They are less likely to ignore these reminders if they're mailed # early in the morning, but of course, this is local time... ;) 0 8 * * * /usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/checkdbs

(The above entry will run at the 0th minute of the 8th hour of every day as it reads...)

Good luck!
