It's misleading in English too. > Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive > notification of the moderator's decision. If you would like to cancel > this posting, please visit the following URL: The implication in the held message notification is that the message will be accepted or the user will receive notification, but there is intentionally no mechanism within Mailman to automatically notify the user of a discard action. If there were, it would be equivalent to reject. In Mailman 2.1.23, you can follow the "Edit the public HTML pages and text files" link in the web admin UI and from there, follow the "User notice of held post" link and edit the message to be more clear. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
