[Mailman-Users] List weirdness (actions not being taken)

[Todd Green]

We recently migrated from majordomo to mailman and created all the lists
via a perl script.  99% of the lists transfered just fine however some
of them seem to fail to actually perform their actions though mailman
thinks that they did.  For example a user tried to subcribe, got the
confirmation but dumping the database shows he's not in the list (nor is
the request pending in requests.db it is a simple confirmation list.)

>From the logs:

subscribe:Apr 02 11:19:51 2003 (17495) hsci: pending Eric Eide <edited>  155.98.63.200
subscribe:Apr 02 11:20:27 2003 (17498) hsci: new "edited" <Eric Eide>
subscribe:Apr 02 11:23:23 2003 (17518) hsci: pending Eric Eide <edited>  155.98.63.200
subscribe:Apr 02 11:23:43 2003 (17520) hsci: new "edited" <Eric Eide>

I've replaced the actual email addr with "edited".  If I delete the list
with rmlist and create it via the web interface all is fine.  Here is a
difference of the config.pck before and after the list was removed and
recreated: 

diff hsci_old.dumpdb hsci_new.dumpdb
33c33
<     'created_at': 1048126881.44232,
---
>     'created_at': 1049309007.866532,
37c37
<     'description': 'Hsci',
---
>     'description': 'High School Computing Initiative',
83c83
<     'next_request_id': 21,
---
>     'next_request_id': 1,
109c109
<     'subject_prefix': '[Hsci] ',
---
>     'subject_prefix': u'[Hsci] ',

All the perms on files also look fine (at least not different than any
other list we're running.)

We're running on Solaris9, with Python 2.2.2, and Mailman 2.1.1

Thanks,
