I've now had a look in the config.pck files and i have a whole lot of rubbish namely the [email protected] etc... i'm really unsure what the proper contents of this should be.. as someone said they think i was previously hacked. do things look right? The 'message-id: relay.comanche.denmark.eu' makes me suspicious.
Just doing a "strings" on that file won't show you a whole lot that is actually useful. Try doing a "dumpdb" first.
The thing is that "strings" will just pull out anything it thinks might potentially be human readable, whereas "dumpdb" understands the binary "pickle" format and can actually parse the data structures on disk and then provide the output in a format that actually makes some sense.
If "dumpdb" were to die while trying to parse the file (which is rare, but I've seen it happen), that's when you would fall back on "strings".
