[Mailman-Users] Help! "Stuck Messages"

[Aaron Marcavitch]

Sorry - I know I am explaining it badly.

It may be that there is a fallacy here - and I am trying to make a connection that isn't there.

Lets focus on the primary problem. I have personally sent emails to the system and I know others have as well - but there are none that are in the admin approval section of the web interface.  They last time I approved any emails was 14 days ago - even though many have been sent there.

The only reason I can figure out that these messages are not coming up from approval is because I deleted several emails.  I went ahead and deleted them because....well, because I'm new with Mailman and didn't know that they would be deleted after a while....

I have now turned off emergency moderation to see if that does anything.

I just dont know if there is some setting that is causing these emails to not come through....I would be glad to have some expert out there help us out to look over our settings.

Our Mailman installation is on Jumpline.com
