I've never suggested this because I'd never investigated the ramifications, but this prompted me to test it in 2.1.8 and it seems to work - YMMV. The issue is that the entries on the admindb page don't come from the data/heldmsg-list-* files. They come from lists/list/request.pck (or request.db in your case). This means that after you delete the data/heldmsg-list-* files and go to the admindb page, the entries will still be there, but if you just click the 'Submit' button, Mailman will clean up and remove the entries from the request.pck (or .db) file and even log the discards in the vette log. Also, you will continue to get the daily "n admin requests" email if you don't go to the admindb and 'clean up' There are still entries in the lists/list/pending.pck file which are the confirmation tokens that can be used to approve or delete a post, but these expire after PENDING_REQUEST_LIFE (default 3 days) so they will take care of themselves. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
