Dear Sirs,

It's not clear to me even after reading MM archive posts how to contain this 
filesystem - /var/lib/mailman/archives/private.

So I go in and manually gzip the<listname>.mbox/<listname>.mbox file, but that 
doesn't stop the growth.
Yesterday I read about not gzipping the<listname>/2009-December.txt files so 
turned that off in mailman's cron.
But ...

104 lists on RedHat EL4 server.

Thank you for simple, clear ideas, I'm not a programmer nor much of a techie.

Hello,

What I think is that your 104 lists are set-up to archive messages.
After a while your partition /var (if setup independant) becomes too small to handle all the messages archives. The only thing you have to do is the contact the system administrator of the server that handles your lists and ask him/her to increase the /var partition size.
off-topic : that's not that easy as I would need to do it on one server ...
