The log entries were written as Mailman did the subscribes and sent the welcomes, but those subscriptions were lost when the process aborted before finishing. No more subscriptions are currently being done. If welcome messages are still going out, they are queued either in Postfix or in Mailman's 'virgin' or 'out' queues, but new subscriptions are not happening since the list membership is still empty. The queue directories may be in /var/lib/mailman/qfiles/ or /var/spool/mailman/ or somewhere else depending on what mailman package you have. If you find a bunch of queued welcome messages in one of those queues, you can just remove them. You can view them with Mailman's bin/show_qfiles. You can also stop mailman and if the messages are queued in Mailman, Mailman will stop sending them. The real question is if your installation is so broken that it takes 5 days to send fewer than half of 7000 welcome messages, what's going to happen when you send a post to a list with 7000 members? -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
