This is a bit of a puzzle, because it should be using the same request.pck data as the cron/checkdbs job that sends the notice. >> Or, you can discard them by running. >> >> path/to/mailmans/bin/discard /var/lib/mailman/data/heldmsg-mailman-* > > I thought I'd give this a try and here's what I get: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# discard /var/lib/mailman/data/heldmsg-mailman-* > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/sbin/discard", line 120, in ? > main() > File "/usr/sbin/discard", line 110, in main > mlist.HandleRequest(id, mm_cfg.DISCARD, '', False, False, '') > File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/ListAdmin.py", line 164, in HandleRequest > rtype, data = self.__db[id] > KeyError: 113 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# > > Must be a remnant of the restore fiasco. This says the heldmsg file did not have a corresponding request.pck entry, and presumably there are some the other way around too. I.e. after the restore, the actual heldmsg-* files were out of sync with request.pck entries. > >> Do NOT just remove the heldmsg-mailman-* files since that will remove >> the message files, but it won't stop the notices.

I suggest you remove all the heldmsg-mailman-* files and also remove the lists/mailman/request.pck file. If you then go to the admindb interface for the 'mailman' list, it should create a new, 'empty' request.pck. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
