Hello list admins,
we have found that globally we had over half a million mails in mailman lists that were not moderated.
So that means they got held in the moderation queues but were not accepted or discarded.
We have started deleting the oldest ones first (over 1 year old) then moved to (older than 6 months).
We are planning to setup an automated cron job to do this automatically in the background.
Currently the plan is to delete all messages that are held and older than 90 days.
Please let us know if any concerns and moderate a bit more if this affects your list.
Thank you and best regards,
Daniel
