 MS Restarting mailman shouldn't have been required. If you
 MS 'cleared locks' you may now have multiple instances of the
 MS same qrunners running. This needs to be addressed - see
 MS http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq04.068.htp.

  admindb web page for the mailing list, it throws the error

  before displaying the admindb page (same traceback as before).
   I suspect I may have not deleted everything I need to delete.
 
 
 MS That's right. You also need to delete the
 MS lists/listname/request.pck that contains the request and
 MS points to the now non-existent heldmsg file.
 
 Mark,
 
 This did the trick.  Thanks!
 
 
 
  I have considered upgrading to 2.1.7, but thought I should
  resolve this issue first.
 
 
 MS I'm not sure if the underlying issue is fixed in 2.1.7 or
 MS not. At this point, I would advise going to 2.1.8 (rc1 should
 MS be released this weekend).
 
 
 
 Will monitor if any additional spam cause the unicode error
 again and, if so,  will test under 2.1.8rc1.
 
 Thanks,
 
 -Tom

[Mailman-Users] UnicodeError in admindb interface

[ts North]

I run several mailing lists under Mailman 2.1.6.   Recently 
 one of my mailing lists received 2 spam messages, I was able
 to delete one of them using the moderator admindb interface, but
 when I tried to delete the second message, I got the hit a bug
 page (traceback is listed below).
 
 At that point I: ran check_db and check_perms, restarted the daemon,
 cleared out the locks.  No luck.

 Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks,
