See the FAQs at <http://wiki.list.org/x/sYA9> and <http://wiki.list.org/x/OIDD>. >When I visited the "Administrative requests for mailing list" page I see >all the options, but none of them have any functionality.

See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/ioA9>. Also, examine the source of the web page and look at the action= URL in the form tag. Is this URL identical to the URL of the page? Also, is there any message at the top of the returned page? >In addition to not being able to administer these posts while signed in >as the List Administrator, I note that I also can not cancel these posts >from the email address they were originally submitted: When I follow the >link to cancel the posting, I am asked for a "confirmation string (i.e. >/cookie/) that you received in your email message". There is no >confirmation string received in the email system message telling me that >my post is awaiting moderation. The URL in the message you receive should be of the form http://host/mailman/confirm/list_host/xxxxxx where xxxxxx is a string of 40 hex digits. If you go to that URL, you shouldn't need to provide a confirmation string, but if the URL is split by your mail reader, you might just be going to http://host/mailman/confirm/list_host/ or something with less than the full 40 hex digits. In any case, the 40 hex digits are the confirmation string. >The Mailman version provided is 2.1.14-1, and the hosting company has >been of no use to date in this question as they are unfamiliar with this >functionality.

I can't help with cPanel's list maintenance features outside the standard GNU Mailman web admin and admindb interfaces. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
