This represents a huge number of held requests for the admindb page which explains the MemoryError. You initially said you got rid of the held messages. Do you mean you deleted the data/heldmsg-clinic-nnnn.pck files? If so, you might as well try moving the request.db file aside and going to the admindb page which should just create a new, empty request.db >And the etc/alias reads as follows for Clinic >clinic-admin: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner clinic" >clinic-request: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd clinic" >clinic-owner: "clinic-admin" >clinic: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper post clinic" > >Yet on other lists there are the 10 aliases referred to in the link you >provided. If looks like the clinic list may have been created under Mailman 2.0.x and then Mailman upgraded and the old aliases never updated and the old wrappers and scripts never deleted. This would explain why posting to clinic would work but mail to the other clinic-* addresses would bounce or cause an error or both. I suggest replacing thes old clinic aliases with new ones like the other lists have and running sendmail's newaliases to update the aliases.db file. Then, you should be able to delete /usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper because it is totally replaced by /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman and you should be able to delete any of the obsolete files 'answer_majordomo_mail', 'auto', 'mailcmd' and 'mailowner' that remain in /usr/local/mailman/scripts/. Don't delete /usr/local/mailman/scripts/post. That's a new one too. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
