[Mailman-Users] weird (occasional) random discards

[William Yardley]

I've occasionally seen an issue where Mailman seems to randomly discard
messages.

I don't think the sender canceled via the web, because there's no:
"Reason: Sender discarded message via web." in the log, and I don't see
anything in my web access logs from around then.

I approved the message via email (see second line below), yet it got
discarded anyway.

Any ideas?
