You can view them with Mailman's bin/dumpdb
I checked two of the lists that have these files
associated with it and mailman does not see held messages via the web
GUI. Do I need these messages or can they be deleted?
If the messages do not show up in the admindb GUI for the associated
list (usually it's the converse that's true - i.e.people rm the files
and the requests.pck data doesn't get updated), the files can be
removed, but in all cases it is better to use Mailman's bin/discard to
remove them. See the FAQ at<http://wiki.list.org/x/nIA9>.
You should also consider using the lists' max_days_to_hold setting to
keep large numbers of held messages from accumulating.
thanks so much Mark.
is there a way to set the "max_days_to_hold" variable in the mm_cfg.py
file so all the lists have the variable set by default?
Cheers,
Noah
