No. I was just trying to determine if the script was actually failing to clear the "moderate" flag. Since the only evidence you gave for its failure was that posts were still being held, I wanted to be sure that they were being held because of the "moderate" flag. >Sorry, I'm a little confused >sorting out the distinction between moderators, the moderator flag, a >moderated list, etc. Was my original description of my problem (wanting >to remove the moderator flag) accurate in terms of the problem I'm >trying to solve? Yes, I think so. >I've been wondering if what I've been actually >accomplishing in my command is just allowing people the ability to >moderate other content - approving held messages. Are people that can do >this moderators, and is the moderator flag used for defining who is a >moderator, or who can post to a moderated list? The flag determines whether this person's post will be held for moderation for this reason. There are other reasons why a post might be held for moderator approval. For example, "too big", "implicit destination", "too many recipients", "post from a non-member", etc., but if a member's "moderate" flag is set, that person's posts will be held with reason "Post to moderated list". The "moderate" flag which is the same as the "mod" check box in the web admin Membership List is this control, and it has nothing to do with who is a moderator. List admins and moderators are in fact people who know the respective passwords. There are lists of addresses for "owner" and "moderator", but they actually only control who receives notices and what addresses appear in the "list run by" field at the bottom of web pages. >I simply want to accomplish the CLI equivalent of unchecking the "mod" >checkbox in the membership list within the web interface. That's what the script is supposed to do. As I said in my prior post, I don't know why it apparently isn't working. I copied the script out of your OP (and removed the '> ' from each line) and ran it with the withlist command in your post changing only the list name and user address and I could set a user's mod flag with withlist -l -r du.setMemberModeratedFlag testlist myemailaddress 'x' and clear it with withlist -l -r du.setMemberModeratedFlag testlist myemailaddress '' -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
