Re: [Mailman-Users] unclaimed action of mailman

[Masaharu Kawada]

Hi Mark-san,

I found that there are many of files named like heldmsg-mailman-nnn.pck
in mailman's data/ directory. These are the notification mails that would be
sent to mail...@example.com when senddigests by cron fails, aren't they?

The reason why these emails sent to mail...@example.com is that is because
the senddigests fails, and the reason why these emails keep staying in that
directory(/data) is that they are all sent from non-list-member(root or 
mailman),
so can not be sent to the  mailing list(mailman mailing list this time) 
without
permission(pendding, accept, reject, discard). Is my understanding right?

Best Regards,

Mark-san,

Thank you very much for your quick response.

I totally understood, and I should have been more careful about
what exactly the admindb is. Thanks a million!

Sincerely,

  
  
    
The messages should be visible in the admindb web interface for the
mailman list.
      
        
Are the messages you mention that emails which sent to mail...@example.com?
Could you please let me make sure that the admindb web interface is a page 
titled like "Mailman mailing list Administration General Options Section",
and the mail sent to mail...@example.com can be visible in somewhere on that
page. Is this correct? If so I would like to know exactly where that emails are. 
"Tend to pending moderator requests"?
    
      
The page titled "Mailman mailing list Administration General Options
Section" is part of the mailman list's admin (not admindb) interface.
The admindb interface is the page linked via the "Tend to pending
moderator requests" link on the admin pages.

The admin pages have URLs that look like
http://www.example.com/mailman/admin/mailman/...

The admindb interface is http://www.example.com/mailman/admindb/mailman


  
    
There should also be a large number of files in mailman's data/
directory with names like heldmsg-mailman-nnn.pck. Each of these
contains one held message. Also, depending on list settings, there may
be so many of these that the admindb CGI times out before it can
generate the summary page. In that case, you have to remove some, but
don't just rm them.
      
        
I will verify if such files are existed in mailman's data/ directory.

On the other hand, is it possible to know/find where that emails are, if I
get the output of dumpdb command executing against lists/mailman/config.pck?
    
      
No. There is nothing in the config.pck that tells you anything about
held messages. Information about the messages is in
lists/mailman/request.pck, but this is the same information that will
be presented much more readably on the admindb page
