Messages for the digest are accumulated in Mailman's
lists//digest.mbox file. You can edit this file with a text
editor or an MUA like mutt to remove the unwanted message.

[Mailman-Users] delete a message out of a pending digest?

[Bryan Teague]

Hello, 

I was contacted by the member of one of my mailing lists asking if it was 
possible to delete a message before it was sent out in a digest.  

I searched, but did not find anything to indicate this was possible. 

Is it possible? and if so,  where can I find the documentation on this 
procedure?

Thanks,
Bryan

So you should fix that in the same way. How it broke, I don't know
unless at some point you did a backup and restore on the production system.

Yes. As I've tried to explain, archiving only updates
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/*. pipermail URLs reference
/var/lib/mailman/archives/public/* which should be symlinks to
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/* to see the updated archive, but if
/var/lib/mailman/archives/public/* is an actual file hierarchy, it is
static and you won't see changes.

By fixing this and making /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/* the
appropriate symlinks, pipermail URLs are now showing you the content in
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/* which was being updated all along.

Hi Mark,

You are correct. However, the test system was cloned with just a
hostname change. The original production system, from which the test
system was cloned, has the same problem.

I followed your instructions and it worked on the test system. What is
really odd, to me, is that now the archives after Feb 2020 are showing
up. Anyway, it looks like we are good to go. Thanks yet again.
