If the number was incremented, the message went to the list, and was
successfully sent out in the opinion of
ezmlm-send(1)
(ezmlm-send(1) doesn't mind if there are no
subscribers, so check that there really are both moderators and
subscribers. These are added with
ezmlm-sub(1). You can not just put addresses
into a text file!).
% ls -l DIR/mod/pending
% ls -l DIR/mod/pending
A new file should have appeared. If this file has the owner execute bit set, it was successfully processed by ezmlm-store(1). If this is true, but no moderation request was sent, then continue with Messages posted to a moderated list do not result in moderation requests. If there is no new file, the message did not reach ezmlm-store(1), or ezmlm-store(1) failed early. In both cases, the mail log should tell you more.
If the message is there, but the owner execute bit is not set, ezmlm-store(1) failed. Check the mail log. Possible reasons include a failure to find the ezmlm-send(1) binary or DIR/msgsize is specified and the message body size is outside of the allowed range (again, this is accompanied by an error message and mail log entry).
% ezmlm-list DIR
% chown -R user DIR
For lists owned by the ‘alias’ user (in ~alias):
