[Mailman-Users] discard messages to 'mailman' list

2004-12-01 Thread arjen van drie
Hi,
I have problems to find the answer to this question:
how can I discard messages that were posted to the 'mailman' list? When 
I visit the URL in the message with subject 30 Mailman moderator 
request(s) waiting, which ends in

/mailman/admindb/mailman, I'm being redirected to the listinfo page. Is 
there a command line tool for this?

Thank you,
Arjen van Drie.

You may want to at least glance through the messages in there, since 
that is where users send messages when they are having trouble with the 
server.  (Or set it so that messages from non-members are not held, but 
accepted.)

It sounds like you have an Apache rewrite rule that is matching too 
generously.  If you want to use a rewrite rule to redirect visitors to 
http://www.example.com/mailman on to the listinfo page, make sure it 
doesn't also match /mailman/admindb/mailman.  Try something like:

RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo

Of course, I never thought of this, I was looking at mailman internals, 
not at the webserver that handles the URLs. Thanks a lot, it works now.
