If your Mailman is 2.1.6 or later, you do this with nonmember_rejection_notice in the admin/privacy GUI. >To do so, I modified /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py >then did > >$ python >>>> import py_compile >>>> py_compile.compile('Hold.py') > >Now nothing gets held for approval...

Python does this as needed, but you do need to do bin/mailmanctl restart after any mm_cfg.py or Handler module changes (and other changes that affect the queue runners) too. Now, you may have a modified Hold.py that's newer than Hold.pyc, so Python will ignore the Hold.pyc and recompile Hold.py so the thing to do is restore the original Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py, remove Mailman/Handlers/Hold.pyc and then do the restart as above. If this doesn't restore things to the way they were, you'll need to look at other things that might have changed. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
