I have a several thousand files in $MM/data/held-msg-LISTNAME-XXX.pck I presume these are spam or messages that have otherwise ended up queued, perhaps waiting for admin approval. I want to delete them so I
> $MM/bin/discard $MM/data/heldmsg-somelist-4586.pck Discarded held msg #4586 for list somelist And often it works as indicated above. In some cases, I get a traceback > $MM/bin/discard $MM/data/heldmsg-anotherlist-2466.pck Traceback (most recent call last): File "/export/mailman/bin/discard", line 120, in ? main() File "/export/mailman/bin/discard", line 106, in main mlist = MailList(listname) File "/export/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 126, in __init__ self.Lock() File "/export/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 163, in Lock self.Load() File "/export/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 580, in Load raise Errors.MMUnknownListError Mailman.Errors.MMUnknownListError I presume this is simply from a list that no longer exists. So why do I have so many? Or to put it another way, is there some way I can sanely determine which should be removed. As a first go round, I'm thinking of just saying, anything providing traceback, delete and anything older than one month delete as the admin is obviously ignoring the list. Does this sound reasonable?
