The underlying problem is in your web server config. Assuming apache, you probably have something like RedirectMatch /mailman[/]*$ /mailman/listinfo This needs to be anchored as in RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ /mailman/listinfo As a workaround, you can go to http://email.marmot.org/mailman/admindb/mailman/x which will work because the 'x' doesn't match in the redirect and it is igmored by the admindb cgi. I don't recall for sure if the subsequent post will work or have the same problem. >I found the controlling file(s) in /var/mailman/lists/mailman... >leastwise the members name and address are in the request.pck file.

Yes, you can just delete request.pck (request.db is left over from pre-2.1.5 and is not used). There may also have been a pending subscription in pending.pck, but it's probably expired by now. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
