We had an issue where a program went rogue and sent out 30k email alerts to one of our lists, so now I have a few questions.
When the issue happened I turned on emergency moderation and we have resolved the issue so..
- How do I easily delete 30k of held messages? It looks like the GUI only allows me to do 200 at a time? is there a way to flush all held messages easily?
See https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message/... and the thread containing it.
- When I enabled Emergency moderation, I expected it to stop notifying the admin on every held message, but it appears that is not the case? Also, does it reply to the sender of every held message when Emergency moderation is on?
it seems like the steps are: turn on "Emergency moderation" turn OFF "Notify users of held messages" turn OFF "Admin immed notify"
MM 2.1 didn't notify the admins of emergency holds. This is not the case in MM 3. It probably should be, but isn't. Senders are or aren't notified per "Notify users of held messages".
So the steps above are correct.
