Messages posted to a moderated list do not result in moderation requests - ezmlm-idx FAQ

Check that ~/.qmail-list is a link to DIR/editor.
Check that DIR/editor contains ezmlm-store(1) and not ezmlm-send(1). If this is not the case, the list is not message moderated.
Check for the presence of DIR/modpost. If this file is missing, the list is not moderated, even if DIR/editor is set up with ezmlm-store(1).
Check qmail logs for error conditions during post delivery and correct these. If the messages are delivered correctly, verify that ezmlm-store(1) generated the moderation requests to the moderators.
Check to see that there are indeed moderators:
```
          % ezmlm-list moddir
```
where ‘moddir’ is the contents of DIR/modpost if they start with a ‘/’, otherwise those of DIR/remote (same ‘/’ requirement), and DIR/mod/ by default.
Check file ownerships.
Another common problem is directory ownerships, especially for lists under ‘~alias’. To correct this error, issue the following command while in the ‘~alias’ directory (Under the user/group of the list owner; for ‘~alias’ lists user=alias, group=qmail):
```
          % chown -R user DIR
```
