Does 'bin/list_lists' or 'ls -l /var/mailman/lists/' show anything you're not looking at? >> I have no idea how it got broken.

I >restarted qrunner to no avail, rebooted the server to no avail, and then Was Mailman running when you rebooted? Also, is it possible you had multiple instances of Mailman running when you rebooted so that a shutdown script if any didn't stop them all? See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.068.htp> - not for the problem, but for the solution. Do ps auxww | egrep 'p[y]thon' or ps -fAww | egrep 'p[y]thon' or however you might spell it on your system to see that only one mailmanctl process and one of each of eight qrunner processes are running. >restarted qrunner again and then the lists all started working again.

If I resort to my month-old backup, >should I just replace the /lists directory? - John There is probably only one bad list, so no, don't replace the directory. Find the bad list first and then perhaps replace its list/listname directory or, if possible, use the config.pck.last or fix the config.pck. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
