A few weeks ago I started backing up to a new external USB disk, and on Sunday that disk crashed so I have no recent backups. Yesterday when I was rebuilding the archives for this machine, it got extremely low on memory, and I guess that did something. This is my first experiment with Xen and LVM, and so far I'm not impressed. -- Paul Tomblin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://blog.xcski.com/ [Y]ou should write for the comprehension of the next programmer who looks at your code, keep it clean and sensible, and *not* play any obscure Jedi mind-tricks. -- Anthony de Boer -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp

The config.db is left over from Mailman 2.0.x and is probably VERY out of date and should probably just be discarded along with config.db.last. And yes, your symptom seemed to be the result of a config.pck having been replaced somehow with that of another list. I don't know how that could have happened, but at this point you need to find the most recent backup of a good config.pck. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

The config.db was fine, but the config.pck *was* corrupted. Or rather, it appeared to be a copy of another lists, since doing a "list_members" on both lists returned the same list.

Did you either 'restart' or 'stop' and 'start' mailman before 'shutting down'?

[Mailman-Users] HELP! My lists have lost their minds
All the email to one of my lists is coming with the [listname] header from another list, and all the email to that list is coming with the [listname] header from the other. Even when I go to http://list.xcski.com/mailman/listinfo/partyhats I see the page I should be seeing at http://list.xcski.com/mailman/listinfo/techhats/ (although the techhats pages seems ok). The partyhats archive is toast as well.
