Hi Mark,
I have a dev mailman server that is having the same problem too. (When updated the welcome text file, then subscribe to the mailing list but still get the old welcome message.)
The dev mailman instance is much newer:
GNU Mailman 3.3.9 (Tom Sawyer) Postorius Version 1.3.13
I also found that the actual file containing the welcome message and footer message does not have the .txt extension for my dev instance.
root@mailman-dev:/var/lib/mailman3/templates/lists/[redacted].mailman-dev.dev.aws.[redacted].org.au/en# ll total 12 drwxr--r-- 2 mailman operations 4096 Jan 22 14:14 ./ drwxr--r-- 3 mailman operations 4096 Oct 1 13:50 ../ -rwxr--r-- 1 mailman operations 0 Oct 1 13:50 list:member:regular:footer* -rwxr--r-- 1 mailman operations 506 Jan 22 14:12 list:user:notice:welcome*
What is that * at the end of the file name mean?
Thank you.
Frances
