Does Apache redirect http to https and if so is the 'action' URL on the admindb page an http URL? If so, see steps 2 and 3 at <https://wiki.list.org/x/17892007>. You also may be able to avoid this issue in Apache by redirecting with a '308' status instead of 'Permanent', but this doesn't work well with Microsoft browsers. > I also tried approving by replying to <list>-request with an Approve: > <password> command, and that didn't work either. In addition to mailing <list>-request with an Approve: <password> header or first body line you must have 'confirm <token>' as the command in the Subject. If admin_immed_notify is Yes, the token is in the third MIME part of the notice. You can also find the token with the script at <https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/list_pending> with the -m and -e options, but tokens expire (by default after 3 days) and if the token is expired or not there at all, this won't work. > Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem, and how I > can fix it and prevent future occurrences? Except for simply never > using moderation? The most likely cause is the http -> https redirect dropping POST data.
