First part, I am not getting twice the mod requests from the list! Seems as if that owners and modertors each get happy copies. That means I now get two.
This can be fixed. I have no idea who added you to both the Administrators and Moderators list, but it wasn't me. Take yourself out of one or the other. It's just a split-permissions system to allow a list admin to delegate moderator duties without giving them the farm. You can have the farm, so take your email out of the Mods list and you'll be down to one copy.
Second part, there is an email interface to moderation. I have not sufficiently tested it yet, and it seems that I may need to set up a test list to test exactly how it works or does not work. I don't trust it, as it seems to have a very limited use of cookies. Hence why I need to test to trust it.
I did not know this! I do know that the 2.1.x Mailman series added a good amount of email-based control for users, but didn't realize it extended to moderators. This may explain the flurry of blank replies to newbie-owner I got from you earlier today...
If you wind up not liking it, check out the CLI utility I posted in my last message.
Yes, the web interface kinda stinks. The ``you have X number of messages for moderation'' also stinks. Probbly an artifact of mailman, and not much can be done about it. I can certaily live with the mild amount of stinkyness rather than battle with it for hours looking for some obscure option buried somewhere.
If I run across the option not to nag moderators, I will turn it off.
I miss ezmlm. It made Mailing List Management EZ.
Easy if you knew the arcane secrets of ezmlm commands and configuration. ;)
But I agree, Mailman does make some of the basics more difficult than they need to be for advanced users.
