	With respect to admin passwd vs approve passwd.

	I believe that you are not thinking of the "approve"
	passwd in the right way.
	
	the ADMIN passwd is for administrative changes. Including
	approving of changes to the list.
	
	the APPROVE passwd is for the APPROVAL of posted messages
	to a list that is moderated or otherwise restricted.
	
	So you want to use the admin password to make administrative
	changes, including using approve.

 % Hi all - can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
 % 
 % Here are the password entried from my list "blobtest"
 % 
 % # admin_passwd         [word] (blobtest.admin) <majordomo>
 %  # The password for handling administrative tasks on the list.
 % admin_passwd        =   blobtest.admin
 % # approve_passwd       [word] (blobtest.pass) <resend>
 % # moderated list, or to bypass resend checks.
 % approve_passwd      =   blobtest.pass
 % 
 % When I send a requets to majordomo like:
 % 
 % approve blobtest.pass subscribe blobtest fred@blobs
 % 
 % 
 % I get an error back telling me I'm not using the right password - note I
 % have used the approve_passwd.
 % 
 % 
 % If I sent the same command, using the admin_passwd - it works fine:
 % 
 % ie
 % 
 % approve blobtest.admin subscribe blobtest fred@blobs
 % 
 % 
 % 
 % Have I misunderstood what the admin and approve passwords are for?

 % Thanks
