I operate several Mailman lists. I have lots of questions, but will
start with the most pressing one.
It is cumbersome, with so many lists, to go in to each list's page of
pending administrative requests to see what is waiting for me to act upon.
cron/checkdbs will mail to the ower of each list with outstanding
requests a summary of thos requests. In a normal, complete
installation this runs at 08:00 daily, but you can manually run it at
any time or adjust the crontab to run it more frequently.
Or you could make a script based on it that would print the output
instead of mailing it.
I just discovered withlist this morning. I think I can handle my shell
for iterating through all of my lists.
Is there some way, possibly with withlist, for me to get a list of
pending requests for a list. I don't need a lot of information about
them. Maybe even just a number of pending requests. The results of the
query on all lists would go to me in an email.
def count_requests(mlist):
if mlist.NumRequestsPending():
print 'List: %s, Requests = %i' % (mlist.real_name,
mlist.NumRequestsPending())
save that as bin/count_requests.py. Then run, e.g.
#!/bin/sh
cd /path/to/mailman
bin/withlist -a -r count_requests | mail -s subj y...@example.com
My users are getting annoyed when I get around to looking at their held
messages and releasing them two weeks after they sent them. Maybe I'm
just irresponsible, but it seems I should be able to know which lists
have pending requests with just one click/cron/something.
It sounds like you haven't installed Mailman's crontab.
Also note, if you set General Options - admin_immed_notify to Yes the
list owner(s)/moderator(s) will receive email notice of each request
as it is made.
