[Mailman-Users] Invisible message for approval [SOLVED]

[Narcis Garcia - GiLUG]

Production and mirror are ready to work, and the only difference is the 
public DNS pointer. The design is planned to make only 1 change on a DNS 
record to change the role of a server.

I'll study the best point to make check if it's production or not, and 
then run crontab actions or not.

Thanks.
