This seems related to, but "opposite" the issue of the FAQ at
.

Possibly the link or URL you are following/visiting to get to the admindb
interface for this list is somehow accessing a different Mailman
installation.

Possibly there is some other issue with this list's request.pck or
pending.pck in the /var/lib/mailman/data/mynewlist/ directory. Is there
anything in Mailman's 'error' log?

Do the scripts at  when run
with the -m option and  show
the held message?

The -1 in heldmsg-mynewlist-1.pck is curious as this number should
increment with each new held message.

In this case, it seems that whatever web server is at
lists.mydomain.com is invoking the admindb CGI for a different Mailman
than the one whose data/ and lists/ directories you are looking at.

Looks like my system wasn't as configured as I thought it was.  Never mind,
I'm sure I'll have other questions later.

Which says that there are no messages listed in lists/ipac/request.pck.


>I'm not sure whether the messages are still being held somewhere.


If messages are still held, they will be in individual files in data/
with names like heldmsg-ipac-.pck

Does the list owner/moderator actually receive notification that the
message is being held or that messages are waiting approval? If the
only notices are daily 'nn pending requests' messages, are these being
mailed from the old installation?

No, the message I get is "ipac Administrative Database (newline)
There are no pending requests. Click here to reload this page."

I'm not sure whether the messages are still being held somewhere.

Yes, some messages are getting through.

Probably not, since the old Mailman is on a different server.

I've also tried bin/check_perms -f and was told there were no problems.

What else might be going on?

If the number of messages being held is -1, then there was a
bug/problem with upgrade that caused that.  You go to handle the
messages, you see -1, you try to release -1 messages, after that
things are fine.

Are the messages in fact disappearing, and never being mailed to list
members?

Are any messages getting through?

Is it possible that your mail aliases are pointing to the old Mailman,
which is storing them in the old queue, and the new Mailman isn't
seeing them at all?
