The admindb interface is the one for moderators to deal with requests awating moderator action. The admin interface consists of several sections called * General Options * Passwords * Language options * Membership Management... * Non-digest options * Digest options * Privacy options... * Bounce processing * Archiving Options * Mail<->News gateways * Auto-responder * Content filtering * Topics And is used to manage list settings and membership. The list's administrator password authenticates for either interface and the list's moderator password if any authenticates for only the admindb interface. It still sounds to me as if you are talking about the admindb interface and not the admin interface. >> Does this depend at all on how many requests are waiting moderator >> action? >> >> >No. I usually don't have many requests awaiting action.

And this process did essentially the same amount of work that would be required to visit the admin or the admindb interface for all of the 15 lists plus any other lists that weren't shown because they either weren't advertised or were for a different virtual host. >Based on the information on this thread I can only guess that the server is >constantly sending e-mail and is thus overloaded and therefore slow. The >other option mentioned is a slow NFS. I will inquire as to both. Server overload is a possible explaination. Slow NFS is also possible, but it seems unlikely as I think if the admindb interface for a list with no outstanding requests takes on the order of 10 seconds to load, the listinfo overview showing 15 lists would take substantially longer if slow NFS were the explaination. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
