Hi there,
I operate a number of mailing lists. Some of these lists are announce only
lists. The annouce only lists work by setting everyone's moderation bit to
1 apart from those that have posting permission. This is done
automatically by a script that takes its data from a remote database via a
text file that is created when requested. (and yes, I know that's a long
winded way of doing things!)
But every now and again on some lists (its only happened so far on large
lists) all the moderation bits are set to 0 allowing anyone to post. Any
ideas why this would be?
Below are the script that sets posting permissions [A] and a sample of the
text file that inputs into this script [B].
Any ideas why this would happen? As always, many thanks if you can help.
PS I don't blame you if you tell me to use a simpler solution. In fact, I
agree and I am completley redoing the project getting rid of the manual
synching and using default mailman admin interface. But in the mean time it
is still a problem that I would be really grateful if someone could help me
find a solution to.
