Only those two places? It should be everywhere

Make sure you have

DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/cgi-bin/mailman/'

in mm_cfg.py. Then run fix_url. Also, make sure that msg_footer and
digest_footer contain text like

%(web_page_url)slistinfo%(cgiext)s/%(_internal_name)s

rather than a fixed URL

Thank you,

I have checked the entries you mentioned for DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN and the
msg & digest footer entries in several of the lists admin management
pages.  They all look good. I've also run fix_url again for each list.
And I rebooted the server.

We continue to have inconsistent results.  It seems that either some
posters or some lists are getting the correct addresses and other
aren't. I also have one particularly frustrating situation where one of
our moderated list's moderator cannot seem to send out his weekly
bulletin.  His messages indicate that the message is posted to the old
address (without /cgi-bin/), which does not exist anymore, but the
messages are not waiting to be approved at the new admindb pages. This
is after I unchecked him as a moderator and made sure that his box
remained unchecked. See immediately below:

In the meantime, some posts do get the correct addresses (with
/cgi-bin/) in the footers 

(Science mailing list
Science at lists.aps.edu
http://lists.aps.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/science).  

I will try to figure out whether this happens per poster or per list.

------------------------------------------

Questions:

1) Is there anything I should do to help you help me? More info,
different composition of email, etc..?

2) Where can I look for these lost postings?

3) Once I find them, can I send them along their merry way, and get the
request messages to stop?

4) Of course... how can I get this inconsistency resolved?
