Sorry for being imprecise here. I meant /mailman is the
ScriptAlias for /home/mailman/cgi-bin/ and /pipermail is the Alias
for /home/mailman/archives/public/ in my httpd.conf.

|     So, does this message get posted to the list, or does it just
| disappear?

It just disappears. In contrast to when using the Discard option
no message is sent to the list-owner.

|     At this point, I'm not sure what I can tell you.  I administer or
| co-administer Mailman installations at a few different sites, and
| everywhere I do that, using "Moderation" works just fine.

There seems to be a (at least partly) general problem here, though,
as there are at least two other users who experience the same
symptoms.

| <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.014.htp>.
| Your problem is slightly different, but the debugging procedures are the
| same.

Okay. I will do that after lunch and get straight back to you.

Thanks for your time,
Peter
