I recently migrated a set of Mailman lists from a standard 2.1.18
installation (on ancient RedHat) to a cPanel host (CentOS 7) running
Mailman 2.1.27. One glitch in that migration involves a pending
moderation issue, which ultimately does not need to be dealt with
because it was just spam to the list address from a non-member. Due
to
some flaw in my migration process (probably related to cPanel's list
name mangling) the daily pending request reminder script is sending
the
moderator a reminder of the issue, however the issue is not visible
in
the web UI.
The notice is coming from the old install. See
<https://wiki.list.org/x/8683538>.
I guess that I am not the first person to make this mistake.
I had actually considered that, but since the notices were going to the
list owner and I'm just the mail janitor^Wadmin and I could see them in
the log on the new system, I ruled that out without actually getting the
list owner trained on how to get headers out of Outlook... Of course,
the reason they were in the log was that they were being sent to
list-owner@<mailman host> and further obfuscating matters, the old host
was and still is the exterior gateway for mail inbound and outbound.
My first impulse is to just clobber the pending.pck file, but I am
not sure if that is safe. Advice would be greatly appreciated.
It's safe, but it won't help for two reasons. The reminder is not
coming
from the cPanel Mailman, and the relevant file is requests.pck
(moderator requests), not pending.pck (pending confirmations).
Useful information! Thanks!
