This is exactly what an 'empty' request.pck looks like. >It seems like all the others empty request.pck If you have other lists with truly empty request.pck files (i.e., without the 'version' object) these will cause '-1 requests' notices to be sent. You can fix that by replacing the request.pck with the one above. >I have the taught that the problem has something to do with the file >pending.pck . >I have renamed it to pending.pck_old but the list administrator is still >receiving the messages. >Dumping the pending.pck_old I have got: > ># /home/mailman/bin/dumpdb -p list_name/pending.pck_old=20 >[----- start pickle file -----] ><----- start object 1 -----> >{ '69f90cb9b45a06ea26b00b077b0081aa41ca2a7f': ('H', 16), > 'e35a5115012465a78de239928742969ba8bfb9b4': ('H', 15), > 'evictions': { '69f90cb9b45a06ea26b00b077b0081aa41ca2a7f': >1128885960.0321629, > 'e35a5115012465a78de239928742969ba8bfb9b4': >1128632750.38288}, > 'version': 2} >[----- end pickle file -----]=20 These are confirmation tokens for a couple of held messages, but they are both expired and they don't have any involvement with the 'requests waiting' email in any case. >I don't have any idea where to look for those messages, and I am a bit >confused because I have renamed the pending.pck file (maybe I have to = >delete >the file ?) The pending.pck file has nothing to do with the problem. My guess at this point is you have a prior Mailman installation with its own lists/, Mailman/, etc. directories somewhere on your system and the crontab is still pointing to the old checkdbs which is therefore looking at the wrong list/listname/request.pck. What happens if you just run cron/checkdbs from the command line? Does it send the spurious notice? -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
