    Hello, The following command will prompt you to install the required packages if the existing mailman RPMs were removed or altered:
    /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms

    Could you verify if the issue persists after running the below commands?
    /scripts/fixmailman /scripts/restartsrv_mailman --stop /scripts/restartsrv_mailman --start
    Thank you.

    Yes, we did that several times; still issues. Customer has 2 issues: Gets the 'We're sorry we hit a bug' page when trying to manage/delete pending moderator requests, and no list posts are being archived, even though all the archiving settings are correct.

    Hello, To update, it looks like this was due to the existence of a "public" archive directory, instead of it existing as a symlink to the corresponding private archive directory. Thank you.

    Hello @noctur, In that particular ticket, /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/public/$list_name existed as a directory instead of as as symbolic link to the private archive location (/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/private/$list_name/). However, there are several potential causes of the issue. It's a good idea to open a support ticket so we can take a closer look if you are facing the same error message. Thank you.

    Hi, I have the same issue. Should a private mailing list have a symb link into the : /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/public/ directory? Regards,

    Hello @stevenvsi, I'm happy to see you were able to address the issue.
    Should a private mailing list have a symb link into the : /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/public/ directory?

    No, the symbolic link is generated when creating a public mailing list. When this happens, a symbolic link is created within "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/public" for the newly created mailing list, linking to it's actual location in the private directory. Thank you.
