Bug Description
Our configuration includes 'admin_
Due to spam with targeted spoofing of list member addresses we had to configure 'emergency' = 'yes'.
But both the notifications to the moderators as well as the reply to the poster informing them of the hold action only works for non-members! Member posts are held without the poster being notified, they get confused about what happened to their post, they will sometimes re-post several times, until the next day a moderator gets the digest of their piled-up posts.
To post a comment you must log in.
As it says in the docstring in Mailman/ Handlers/ Emergency. py
"""Put an emergency hold on all messages otherwise approved.
No notices are sent to either the sender or the list owner for emergency
holds. I think they'd be too obnoxious.
"""
If you really want this, I've attached a patch that will do it.
