Thanks Brad. I looked at the two FAQs you recommended. FAQ 4.9 DOES have a 'discard' command and, you guessed it, Apple did not include that in the collection they provide with Server. Maybe it's one that came along post-2.1.2? I did find where the held messages live though: /private/var/mailman/data I wonder what would happen if I just deleted all the held messages? I'll bet there's a command that one should run after that to re-sync things, eh?! >> Yes, I would LOVE to update to a newer version but I am not sure what >> 'special' things Apple has done on their 'stock' install of Mailman >> on Server. > > Yeah, they hacked it up alright. > > One of the largest known Mailman sites uses MacOS X Server for their > machines, but they don't use the hacked up version of Mailman that > Apple > provides Hmmm ... maybe that's what I should be doing -- use a stock and upgradeable install of Mailman. I did that install once a year or more ago and it wasn't pretty, but at least one ended up with something that was recognizable to anyone doing Mailman on other platforms. bw --- Bill Whitacre [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
