Hi there,
three days ago, mellon85@gmail.com sent a message to the ppl-devel mailing list. I (think I have) approved it and added the sender to the accept filter, but the message did not show up, neither on the list, nor in the archives. Here is the only trace I could find in the mailman log files:
Dec 04 14:15:06 2007 (2680) PPL-devel post from mellon85@gmail.com held, message-id=08B26E7C-5D84-480D-A387-4B342B2DA0FB@gmail.com: Post by non-member to a members-only list
Yesterday I wrote to mellon85@gmail.com apologizing (perhaps I pushed the wrong button the other day) and asking him to send the message again. He did that, and this morning the message was still blocked because it was too big, i.e.:
Dec 06 23:00:43 2007 (2680) PPL-devel post from mellon85@gmail.com held, message-id=F61AC58F-071C-4B1D-8829-E2DD0D7AD3C8@gmail.com: Message body is too big: 158306 bytes with a limit of 150 KB
I went to the administration page and: I clicked on "accept"; I closed my eyes, opened them again and verified that I did click on "accept"; I got up, walked around the office and checked that, yes, I did click in "accept". Then I clicked on "submit".
Since the message is not showing up and I cannot find any traces of it on the system, I guess something went wrong again. Enea, can you please check that our installation of mailman is in good shape?
Just an update on what I have found (problem unsolved yet).
The log files (vette) say that you pressed the right button both times, but immediately after that the message was discarded anyway by mailman.
These are the log entries relative to the message sent on Dec 04 (see the value of message-id):
Dec 05 11:19:12 2007 (16530) held message approved, message-id: 08B26E7C-5D84-480D-A387-4B342B2DA0FB@gmail.com Dec 05 11:19:12 2007 (2680) Message discarded, msgid: 08B26E7C-5D84-480D-A387-4B342B2DA0FB@gmail.com
These are the log entries for the message sent on Dec 06:
Dec 07 08:18:28 2007 (2918) held message approved, message-id: F61AC58F-071C-4B1D-8829-E2DD0D7AD3C8@gmail.com Dec 07 08:18:29 2007 (2680) Message discarded, msgid: F61AC58F-071C-4B1D-8829-E2DD0D7AD3C8@gmail.com
I am trying to better understand what is going on.
Ciao, Enea.
mellon85, I apologize again: can you please send it again to ppl-devel (so as to help us fixing the mailing list problems), CC to me (so that we can help you with your problems with the PPL)?
Thanks to everyone,
Roberto
