All, I support a Mailman Server (2.1.4) that has over 40 maillists on it. We took over support from it in February (Everything is working great...except) and ever since we have had issues with Admin's not receiving "Waiting for Moderator Approval E-mails". Not one time has any Admin received these messages, so the lists are getting out of control because the Admins are not moderating. All of the lists have "Moderation Emails" enabled, and the old contractor that supported the site was able to provide these e-mails, because I have example e-mails form some of the admins.
The caveat here is that when we took over the system we were only given a backup on the previous system, and we had to start over from scratch. At the time we decided to take the backup and apply it to a newest version of mailman at that time (2.1.4). I'm pretty sure that the previous contractor used a 2.0.X version, so I wondering if something on my end need to be changed to enable this. Every time (that requires or will require moderator approval) I send a message off to a list I get the follwing errors my log files (filename -error): Mail.log - Jun 10 09:05:35 mailman Mailman mail-wrapper: Illegal command: mailowner syslog - Jun 10 09:05:35 mailman Mailman mail-wrapper: Illegal command: mailowner mail.warn - Jun 10 09:05:35 mailman Mailman mail-wrapper: Illegal command: mailowner mail.info - Jun 10 09:05:35 mailman Mailman mail-wrapper: Illegal command: mailowner mail.err - Jun 10 09:05:35 mailman Mailman mail-wrapper: Illegal command: mailowner Also here is a common example of my alias list entries. Could it be possible that the wrapper to mailman change in 2.1 affected the e-mails? ## moims-nav mailing list moims-nav: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post moims-nav" moims-nav-admin: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin moims-nav" moims-nav-bounces: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces moims-nav" moims-nav-confirm: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm moims-nav" moims-nav-join: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join moims-nav" moims-nav-leave: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave moims-nav" moims-nav-owner: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner moims-nav" moims-nav-request: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request moims-nav" moims-nav-subscribe: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe moims-nav" moims-nav-unsubscribe: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe moims-nav" Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Well, if the feature is enabled, the next thing I'd look at is the Mailman logs of outgoing messages as compared to the MTA logs, as well as the cron jobs.
