Hi, thanks for the thoughts.

I tried Jerome's suggestion, making the list public, and though it doesn't make me moderate messages now, it still doesn't send them through.

I think I'm using version 4.1.1 (that's what it says in /home/sympa/bin/Version.pm) - I'm not the server admin, so I don't know when all this stuff was installed and I'm pretty new to Sympa.

I checked the log file (/var/log/sympa) and saw an enormous amount of this:

Sep 12 10:50:55 office sympa[358]: (no cache) Could not tie to DB_File /home/sympa/expl/milife_test2/subscribers.db
Sep 12 10:50:55 office sympa[358]: Could not load subscribers for list milife_test2

When a message goes through I get this:
Sep 12 10:50:55 office sympa[358]: No subscriber for sending msg in list milife_test2


So I'm confused since it says "Could not load subscribers" but I can see them on the list in the web interface. Maybe something under the hood is broken?

Hi Matt,

You did not mention what version of Sympa you're running ?
What do Sympa log files say when the message is rejected ?

The only problem is that when someone on the auto-generated list sends an email to the list, Sympa makes it get moderated (as if that person isn't on the list). Then, when the moderator allows it through, no one on the list gets the email.
