Thanks for the links Mark. They have helped tie down exactly what is (or isn't as the case may be) going on. I have deleted all lists, and created a brand new one, making minimal alterations to default values - (ie. set smtp server name, set descriptive rejection notice for all moderated posts, and subscribed an address in each of the four mail servers I have access to - just to eliminate pop3 or spam filtering issues). Before I set the "reject moderated posts" flag, I DID get a reply to the originating address stating "held for moderation". And after accepting the post in moderation tasks, the post DID go to all four addresses subscribed. After I set the "reject moderated posts" flag, I DID NOT get anything at all from anywhere or to anywhere. Not even the rejected notice I had added to try and track which part of the system rejected the post. The test post just vanished into the ether. Unfortunately, most of the testing suggestions in your second link, I can't get to, as my mailman install is part of a CPanel hosting package and I don't have access that far back in the directory tree. Vital Statistics are as follows... Mailman version 2.1.7.cp1 Kernel version 2.4.21-40.ELsmp Apache version 1.3.34 (Unix) PERL version 5.8.7 PHP version 4.4.1 MySQL version 4.0.25-standard cPanel Build 10.8.2-RELEASE 83 I don't know how much of that is useful, or even relevant, but rather than make a bad call, it was easier to copy and paste the lot. Until I can get messages passing through, I guess there is no point trying to customize it for how it's supposed to work. I figure I have a reasonable handle on that part anyway - just couldn't find what I had done to kill it first time round - maybe nothing? Thanks again for help so far. Any further suggestions more than welcome...
