[Mailman-Users] Pending requests not being sent out.

[Martin Hicks]

Hello,

I recently let my debian-sarge machine upgrade mailman to 2.1.2-2.  I
did most of the manual stuff that was required to move from 2.0 to 2.1
and the lists seem to be working fine.  The one problem that I just
noticed is that I'm no longer getting the pending moderation requests
either by e-mail or in the web interface.

I see the held messages in the data directory:

galileo:/var/lib/mailman# ls -l data
total 3280
-rw-r-----    1 root     list           13 Mar 25  2002 adm.pw

-rw-r--r--    1 root     list        14110 Jun 12 19:11 sitelist.cfg



and I also see files in qfiles/shunt

I'm running mailman 2.1.2-2 on debian-sarge x86.
The MTA is qmail, which complicates things further...

I've got the following aliases setup for this test list:

.qmail-test
.qmail-test-admin
.qmail-test-bounces
.qmail-test-confirm
.qmail-test-join
.qmail-test-leave
.qmail-test-owner
.qmail-test-request
.qmail-test-subscribe
.qmail-test-unsubscribe

which were made by the script in the documentation.  Mail to the list
works fine, but if it's held for approval I never get the approval
message.

any ideas would be appreciated.
thanks
mh
