At 9:59 AM -0500 2005-02-08, Dan Mahoney, System Admin quoted Mark Sapiro:

 As I said before, the information we really need in order to figure
 this out would be the post as received by Mailman, not the one sent
 out, but there's no way to get this from Mailman after the fact.

*that* is a problem. I see no reason there shouldn't be an option to log this (either in the archives or a logfile, or maybe a "view original post" option in the archives, something possibly admin-only?.

The message as it was originally received by Mailman should be in the appropriate /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file, and the admin would be able to inspect that to get an idea of what happened. At least, I think the message gets saved there before stripping and sanitization is performed.


As far as log data is concerned, assuming you get there before the data in syslog is aged out and thrown away, you should have a record of that message-id coming into the system, and then a different message-id going back out (after the mailing list sanitization is done, etc...).

Unfortunately, Mailman doesn't provide a whole lot of logging data itself, so it takes more work to figure out what features were/were not triggered, in which logs there may be useful data, etc....
