It's not sent to the syslog you and I would recognize. It's using the
internal Python routine to log that data directly to a file.
Look in /usr/local/mailman/logs, or /var/mailman/logs, or wherever your
platform puts them.

At the moment, I can't *find* the vette log..:o). I see the calls in the
code to syslog('vette',...) and from what I can tell the syslog is
running -- the sysadmin tells me that it is running rsyslog with the

that solved it! The problem was that the user had some sort of AVG email
scanner that in the course of munging the MIME machinery to include a
"Scanned and found virus-free" section [what a useless, stupid bit of
software *THAT* is!] it totally hosed the format. Having them undo the
email scanning fixed the problem.

If it caused some processing exception and was shunted, that fact and a traceback from the error should be logged in Mailman's error log. The first step is to check those logs. Note that given what you've said about the list configuration, I think the most likely thing is Content filtering is on, text/html is filtered (not in pass_mime_types) and filter_action is discard so her text/html post is filtered to empty and discarded. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] Tracing a disappearing 'post'
A user on one of the lists here complained that her posts weren't getting through. I looked at the sendmail log and I see her post making it to the "| ...mailman post LIST", but then the message disappeared. I've looked and it is, indeed, not in the list archives. I do get bounces and approvals [as both list admin and list moderator] and I've not gotten anything about this user's submissions, but still they appear to vanish. The list is unmoderated ["Action to take for postings from non-members.." is set to Accept]. I have one filter set to 'hold', and I *have* gotten submissions that got caught by that filter, so I know it is working. What places am I missing that could get a message just to vanish? [and how can I try to make that not happen, or at least log what's happening or email me or something]?
