Nope ... i'm using a default installation with no changes to the scenarios

Now that you mention it, i have had several log-entries regarding thins like:

        Bad entry "topics xxx,"
        Expecting a paragraph for "owner" parameter in ...

and so on. That's a bug/problem i was aware of quite some time but thought
these were only warnings not having any effect on the functionality (because i
have them on all my other sympa-installations/servers too - without any
problems). But ok, i'll mention it now:

It looks like the 'topics' and 'owner' problem (sometimes moderator too)
originates from a bug in the webinterface - because if you create a list (or
migrate it from mailman) everything works fine ... but if you edit the list
definition for the first time, the 'config'-File of the list stores
configuration like

        owner
        reception mail
        profile privileged
        email address@concealed

        owner

        owner

or

        topics xxx,,

or

        topics xxx,


this happens on all my installation-types (self-made RPM, tarball-installation
and the official sympa RPM) ...

It doesn't look like this is the case ...

i checked both /usr/local/sympa/arc and
/usr/local/sympa/lists/<listname>/archives ... both contain only the valid
messages that were allowed to be distributed.

by the way: could you give me a clue where i can enable list-moderation for
listmasters?

thx in advance and kind regards,
  Andreas
