The "Approved: pw" header is not working. I don't know why.

To debug further, look at Mailman/Handlers/Approve.py in the Mailman
installation.  Immediately following the lines:


from Mailman import mm_cfg
from Mailman import Errors


add the line

from Mailman.Logging.Syslog import syslog


Then about 26 lines further, you will see the following 3 lines:

    missing = []
    passwd = msg.get('approved', msg.get('approve', missing))
    if passwd is missing:

Add two lines so it reads:

    missing = []
    passwd = msg.get('approved', msg.get('approve', missing))
    syslog('error', 'List: %s, Approved pw ->%s<-',
            mlist.real_name, passwd)
    if passwd is missing:

Preserve the indentation exactly

Then do 'bin/mailmanctl restart'. This will put an entry in Mailman's
'error' log for each post that contains "List: listname, Approved pw
->%s<-" (with a time stamp and a pid), where %s is replaced either by
the contents of the Approved: (or Approve:) header or by "[]" if there
is no Approve(d): header.
