A couple of weeks ago our Mailman 2.0 server crashed (a physical problem, it wasn't Mailman's fault!) and we had to upgrade to 2.1 in a real hurry. As a result, I had to copy the entire ~mailman/data directory... which may not have been such a good idea:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/data]$ ls -al | wc -l 40054 There are a _lot_ of files prefixed with "heldmsg-" in the data directory, as you can see. There are entries all the way back to 2005, in fact! I realize that I'm going to have to deal with all those files at some stage, but I currently have another problem. A user administers a list called "ams-announce", and they are receiving emails with the subject "The [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list has 31 request(s) waiting for your consideration". However, when they or I go to the admin interface, there are no pending requests. The user has been getting the same message for more than a week now, always with the same amount (31) of pending messages but there are never actually any messages there for the admin to discard. Oddly, there are no files prefixed with "heldmsg-ams-announce" in the / home/mailman/data directory, however I did grep for the string "ams- announce" in _all_ heldmsg files and there are many matches -- virtually all of it looks like spam. I suppose, then, that I have two questions: * how can I print how many moderation requests a list has pending, and is there a way to flush the pending requests from the command-line? (The FAQ entries deal with doing it via the web interface, before 2.1.5's feature of "discard all messages") * can I print a list of what lists have what files pending in the format of heldmsg-$listname-$msgID, so that I can cross-reference the files I have on the filesystem (many of which are really old) with what the lists think need to be delievered? This is with a 2.1.9 server.
