[Mailman-Users] identifying moderator that approved a post

[Bruce Harrison]

Glad to hear it's changing.  We have several lists on campus with 20+ moderators.  Some will approve anything without paying attention at all....  :)
Was just poking around in the access_log, looks like that may do it.

Thanks!

Bruce

Assuming it was done via the web interface, you could get the timestamp from the Mailman logs, then go to the webserver log and find out who accessed the admindb page at the same time.

There is no way for Mailman 2 to identify an individual moderator; moderators are identified by possession of the moderation password, nothing else.  I believe this will change in Mailman 3.
