The light dawns! (thanks to the post at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2008-April/061365.html>). There was an error in 2.1.9 that didn't delete (or move aside) the .bak file in qfiles/in from an unparseable message. Thus, there were 7500+ unparseable message qfiles/in/*.bak files when you restarted mailman. These were all 'recovered' and reprocessed, reproducing the unparseable message error, and this time moved to qfiles/shunt/*.psv (so it wouldn't happen again). This explains why there were over 7500 of these at once, when the normal rate is /only/ 125 per day. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
