It should work, Hold.py line 237:

     if not fromusenet and not mlist.dont_respond_to_post_requests:
         subject =3D 'Your message to %s awaits moderator approval' %=
 listname
         text =3D Utils.maketext('postheld.txt', d)
         msg =3D Message.UserNotification(sender, adminaddr, subject, text)
         HandlerAPI.DeliverToUser(mlist, msg)

Maybe mlist.dont_respond_to_post_requests isn't set properly by the web=20
interface?
I'm not very familar with that part of Mailman.

Anyway, if you want to make the change yourself, you just need to comment=20
out the section above.

Jesper.
