[Mailman-Users] Approved message is discarded

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your reply.

Point taken. And sure, you are Mark, not Larry, sorry ;-)

That is right, these are vette-log entries and the approving attempt is done
via the admindb web interface.

I found out that as soon as the list-administrator just selects the link in
the ".... requires approval" message as sent by mailman, ("Reason:  Post
by non-member to a members-only list") the message is discarded at that
very moment! (vette log update detected)

After that the following is displayed:
   |Action to take on all these held messages:
   |Defer    	   Accept    	   Reject    	   Discard

but *no* pending message is there to Accept.

No!

> Does the web admin interface work?

Except for the murdering of pending messages the interface works
flawlessly.

mailman-2.1.9-4.el5 (RPM)

> How exactly are you approving messages?

As said before: by selecting the link in the mailman-sent message.



Best regards and thank you for your help,
