Actually I'm using Mailman 2.0.11 (Debian woody), but it did fine anyway.

Yes, Mailman 2.1 will log a message about missing .txt files and then just evict those entries from the .db file. So it'll be robust against doing things that way. -Barry -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: archive@jab.org Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

Re: [Mailman-Users] Fiddling with pending messages
It's in the FAQ's, - delete the heldmsg-... files in ~mailman/data/.. (these are the actual messages) - in version 2.1 simply delete the request.db file ~mailman/lists//.. in version 2.0 copy a request.db from another list over the existing one (or simply run the web-admindb at that point and it will auto-sense that the heldmsg's have been deleted and then clean out the request.db file for you).

[Mailman-Users] Fiddling with pending messages
Hi! A list I own recently got a lot (about half a thousand) of virii which were all caught for approval by mailman. Now I need to discard them all, but doing that through the web interface would be a nightmare. Thus I'd rather do that with Python, Perl, grep, filetools or anything that would let me automate the process. However I need some information on how to access/modify the pending posts other than the web interface. Where do I start? I could not find anything obvious in the docs, and maybe someone has already done something similar? thanks, Marcin PS: A Cc would be nice. -- Marcin Owsiany <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://marcin.owsiany.pl/ GnuPG: 1024D/60F41216 FE67 DA2D 0ACA FC5E 3F75 D6F6 3A0D 8AA0 60F4 1216 "Every program in development at MIT expands until it can read mail." -- Unknown -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: archive@jab.org Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
