[Mailman-Users] Removing moderation flag via the command line

Hello,

I'm trying to remove the moderator flag on some users via the command
line so that these users are allowed to post to lists where the
moderator flag is set by default. I found this posting from Feb. 2005,
but this doesn't appear to be working for me:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-February/042396.html



My script in the Mailman base directory:

> # DU mailman Modules
> # This should live in the base Mailman install directory to be seen by the withlist Mailman binary.
> 
> from Mailman import mm_cfg
> from Mailman.Errors import NotAMemberError
> 
> # Set a member's moderator flag to on or off
> # e.g. to disable moderation: setMemberModeratedFlag listname, email_address, ''
> def setMemberModeratedFlag (mlist, addr, mod):
>     #print "Setting moderator flag to ",mod," for ",addr
>     mlist.setMemberOption (addr, mm_cfg.Moderate, mod)
>     mlist.Save()



My input:

# withlist -l -r du.setMemberModeratedFlag testlist myemailaddress ''
Importing du...
Running du.setMemberModeratedFlag()...
Loading list testlist (locked)
Unlocking (but not saving) list: testlist
Finalizing


(I also tried replacing the double quotes with "off"). This does not
actually remove the flag for this address - posting to the list by this
address still gets a bounce back saying that moderator approval is required.

Any ideas?
