You need to check the Apache error_log to see more detail about what's happening. I'm just guessing, but there is likely some Apache limit on how long a CGI can run before Apache either kills it or gives up. You also need to check Mailman's data/ directory to make sure that the actual heldmsg-<listname>-*.pck message files were deleted along with the entries in lists/<listname>/request.pck. Again, my guess is that there is nothing wrong with Mailman per se. It is just that apache is not giving the admindb CGI enough time to finish when the number of held messages to be deleted is large. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
