cd to Mailman's home, run "bin/show_qfiles dir_of_queue_in_question/*" Obviously you're going to want to pipe that to something like less to get a look at what you've got. Once you've grokked that, some variation on the theme bin/show_files | formail -s | procmail should work to weed out the 7999 obvious losers. Note that you need to specify the *files* in the usual way for the command line, not the list or other Mailman abstraction. This has two implications. (1) Use ls | xargs, not a shell wildcard unless you've got one heck of a shell. (2) You can just mv all the files somewhere convenient and run bin/show_qfiles on them (I'm pretty sure). Untested, YMMV, if it breaks you get to keep both pieces, etc. Nonetheless, HTH. :-) Steve ------------------------------------------------------ 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
