"this held message has been lost"
I have now seen this message on two different occasions. Any ideas on what is happening? Happy to provide additional information if I am told what is needed (and how to get it -- I'm a web moderator for the list without access to the machine it runs on). :)

The most likely reason is the message was cross-posted to multiple lists and held on more than one. When the message is handled on the first list, it is removed from the database and this is not available on the second list.
This can also happen in a race situation if two moderators are handling the same message on the same list.

Hi
I've upgraded mailman to the latest packages, and suddenly I'm experiencing the same. It's running on python 3.12 because an issue with nntplib
There is no race condition, because I'm the only moderator. And I'm not seeing how it can be cross-posted. It's not immediately, it happens after a while.
And nothing that shows up in logs.
Any tips how can I debug this?
Thank you Emanuel

What latest packages? Prior to Mailman 3.3.10 there was a bug in the
task runner that could do this. See
https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/1162 (tl;dr skip to
https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/1162#note_2113461048) and
https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/1212.

Hi
Latest... :) Not quite the latest. I've installed with pip not specifing version and I thought it was the latest. I had installed 3.3.9. Yesterday evening I've installed 3.3.10, the latest in pypi and at least for now nothing has been lost
Thank you
