I could find hacks for getting it out there too but that's quite a hassle and
some of my moderators are windows users and they can't do neat things like us :)

actually one weird thing with one of our moderators is that if she approves a
lot of mail on the list in the admindb interface, it often happens that some of
the fastcgi scripts on our erver crash (well, we all the the system load
tends to go sky high with the current version of mailman :( ) and at the
same time the windows PC of the moderator totally freezes up... the only
connection i think of is that the mail is being delivered to the moderator's
mailbox at the same time as Netscape Mail tries to check POP mail from there...
but it's still kinda weird to me... oh well let's just blame it on windows ;)

Ricardo.
