== 3.38. Why am I receiving moderation requests that read ...mailing list has -1 request(s) waiting... ? ==
A newly created mailman 2.1.5 list will email bogus moderator requests until a genuine one has been handled. The email posted says:

{{{
 "Subject: -1 LISTNAME moderator request(s) waiting
}}}


{{{
 The LISTADDRESS mailing list has -1 request(s) waiting
 for your consideration at:
        WEBADDRESS
 Please attend to this at your earliest convenience. This notice of
 pending requests, if any, will be sent out daily."
}}}

The cause is that request.pck is either missing or it doesn't contain the version info.

The workaround is simply to create a real moderation request (which automatically creates a request.pck) or to copy a valid request.pck file over from another list.

There's also a patch available at sourceforge, which should fix this. [[http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=970383&group_id=103&atid=300103]]

You can also fix it by hand:

{{{
 $ bin/withlist -l mylistwithoutrequests
 >>> print m.NumRequestsPending()
 -1
 >>> m.Save()
 >>> m.Unlock()
 >>> {ctrl-D}
}}}

More easily, if you click one of the links in the admindb page, the -1 requests goes away.
