Dear everyone

 

When I receive requests to mailing lists created in Mailman under CPanel, I can select a check box called "Preserve message for site administrator". As I understand this feature save a copy of the request so I as administrator can take a look on the message at the later time.

 

Where can I find these messages?

 

When I look under the Mailman administrative interface for the mailing list I only can find "Request", but here I only can see if new request waiting, I not can find the earlier message that I have saved via the check box "Preserve message for site administrator".

 

I using CPanel 126.0.16.

 

Very thanks in advance for your answer and have a nice day.

 

Regards,

Anders

  Hey there!  The Mailman docs say:

  "Preserve message for site administrator: this will keep a copy of the message in the admin requests section even if you choose an action other than defer."

  so if you're not seeing it there you may need to create a ticket so there can be more investigation about this on your account.

  Hi again, and thanks for your answer.

  1. Is it understand correctly that I access the Mailman Requests page on the following link:
  https://example.com/mailman/admindb/listname_example.com
  , and this link only give me access to the page where I can approve requests?

  If I first create a moderator password, and try to login via the link above I can find some requests. When I here select the "Preserve message for site administrator checkbox", and after that try to login with my administrator password, I fine can find the requests that I have saved via the Preserve message for site administrator checkbox.

  2. Is it also understand correctly that the link
  https://example.com/mailman/admindb/listname_example.com
  , only should be used of a mailing list moderators where I have created a password to the moderators, instead of
  https://example.com/mailman/admin/listname_example.com
  , there should be used of the administrator for the mailing list?

  I apologize for my confusion regarding Mailman and CPanel.

  Regards,
  Anders.

  1 - Yes, that sounds correct.

  2 - Those URLs are just different functions.  admin/listname_example.com will show all the options available for that list while admindb/listname_example.com shows the administrative requests.
