I do not understand what this means. Do you mean that a moderated member was able to post to the list without the post being held, or do you mean something else? >2. http interface became unusable >3. list members sent Unsubscribe message to all users on the list and it >was not filtered as an admin request, even though configured to do so. >4. command lines "hung" and were unresponsive. 2. and 4. sound like a stale lock problem. See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.076.htp>. For 3., the filtering of administrivia from the list is very simplistic. For a message to be detected as administrivia, it must have fewer than DEFAULT_MAIL_COMMANDS_MAX_LINES (default 25) non-empty body lines preceding a "-- " signature separator, and then the body must either consist of a single command word, or there must be within the Subject: line and the first 5 body lines, a line that looks like an email command with an appropriate number of arguments. I.e., a message that has a line Unsubscribe me from this list will not be detected as administrivia because the "Unsubscribe" command has too many arguments. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
