Re: [Mailman-Users] missing list!
Actually the missing list is called: dailymail.. I went to /var/lib/mailman/lists/dailymail and found these files: config.pck config.pck.corrupt config.pck.last config.pck.safety config.pck.MY-MAIL-SERVER-ADDRESS.11461 config.pck.MY-MAIL-SERVER-ADDRESS.2530 config.pck.MY-MAIL-SERVER-ADDRESS.2554 config.pck.MY-MAIL-SERVER-ADDRESS.2593 config.pck.MY-MAIL-SERVER-ADDRESS.2608 config.pck.MY-MAIL-SERVER-ADDRESS.9818 pending.pck request.pck could the correct file be there? do I have to rename any of these files to make it work again? if there's nothing I can do, is there a way to backup the list of members in this missing list to a text file so I can format the server and install mailman again and reconfigure the lists ?

Do /path/to/bin/dumpdb -p /var/lib/mailman/lists/dailymail/$f for $f equal to each of the above config.pck* files in turn. Some of these will probably throw an exception and some may work. For those that work, pick the file with the most recent timestamp and copy it to config.pck Also, look in mailman's 'error' log for messages with timestamps around the timestamps of the above files for more insight into the problem. if there's nothing I can do, is there a way to backup the list of members in this missing list to a text file so I can format the server and install mailman again and reconfigure the lists ? Hopefully, you can identify at least one usable config.pck and just use it. If not, you can try running strings on the files to extract data from them. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] bin/arch : ctime
I rebuilt, not long ago, the archives of a particular mailinglist, and the html files' atime/ctime/mtime were all changed to the time of the rebuild. The search facilities I'm using, on the same machine- glimpseindex and swish-e - by default use the ctime or mtime to return results, which isn't very convenient when searching by Date:. Has anybody ever written a script that would rebuild the html message archives that would also modify the file ctime/mtime back to the date of the message, as retrieved from the list's mbox file? thanks in advance. -- Rob Lingelbach r...@colorist.org -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
