I administer a mailman (version 2.1.15) server (CentOS 7) which contain 40-50 lists (including umbrella lists). When a sender's email is held for moderation, we would like to acknowledge the sender when that post is "Accepted" by the moderator in a similar fashion as we do when the moderator "Rejects" a message (default message with ability to customize). This will avoid the user wondering if the email was sent out to the list.
The acknowledge option gets us part of the way, but I could not find a way to acknowledge non-members who post to a list. It is common for a non-member to send legitimate email to our lists (e.g. faculty member sending to student lists). I believe there will also be an issue with receiving acknowledgements from one of the individual list member of an umbrella list since they are not treated as an ordinary users thus they cannot set the acknowledge option flag for that list.
I have tried using the setting "Receive your own posts to the list?" set it to "Yes" and the server logs show an email is being sent, the email provider's duplicate suppression renders the user not actually seeing that email come into their inbox.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
