I mean the Mailman server that sent the 'n <listname> moderator requests waiting' notice, which may not be the same physical box as the Mailman server that supports your active list.. The chain of Received: headers in the notification you receive will identify every server MTA through which the mail passed on it's way to you. I am suggesting that these messages might originate from a Mailman installation on a different box and the earliest Received: headers in the chain might help you identify the box. For example, here are the Received: headers (and a few other interspersed headers) from the message to which I'm replying: Received: from smtp-vbr13.xs4all.nl (smtp-vbr13.xs4all.nl [194.109.24.33]) by sbh16.songbird.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2A80E690092 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Wed, 23 Jan 2008 15:35:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from bag.python.org (bag.python.org [194.109.207.14]) by smtp-vbr13.xs4all.nl (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m0NNZR42028054 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Thu, 24 Jan 2008 00:35:37 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Received: from bag.python.org (bag [127.0.0.1]) by bag.python.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EDB0B1E402F for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Thu, 24 Jan 2008 00:35:36 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: mailman-users@python.org Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: from bag.python.org (bag [127.0.0.1]) by bag.python.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8DA021E400F for <mailman-users@python.org>; Thu, 24 Jan 2008 00:35:01 +0100 (CET) X-Spam-Status: OK 0.000, No Received: from bag (HELO bag.python.org) (127.0.0.1) by bag.python.org with SMTP; 24 Jan 2008 00:35:01 +0100 Received: from fmailhost03.isp.att.net (fmailhost03.isp.att.net [204.127.217.103]) by bag.python.org (Postfix) with ESMTP for <mailman-users@python.org>; Thu, 24 Jan 2008 00:34:58 +0100 (CET) Received: from dap001 (adsl-34-248-212.asm.bellsouth.net[67.34.248.212]) by isp.att.net (frfwmhc03) with SMTP id <20080123233455H0300id6ioe>; Wed, 23 Jan 2008 23:34:57 +0000 These tell us that the message originated from your machine at adsl-34-248-212.asm.bellsouth.net (IP 67.34.248.212). A similar analysis of the Received: headers of the notice you received will indicate from which physical box the message originated. >> find / -name config.pck -print > > /var/lib/mailman/lists/mailman/mailman.pck > /var/lib/mailman/lists/<my real list>/<my real list>.pck Assuming you actually mean the results of the above find were /var/lib/mailman/lists/mailman/config.pck /var/lib/mailman/lists/<my real list>/config.pck and nothing else, this is additional evidence that the notices originate from a different box. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
