Re: [Mailman-Users] MemoryError in htmlformat.py
What version of Mailman are you using? (it looks like one of the 2.1.x versions). Hope you have already fixed this by now, but just in case, here is something you can try. Look in the data directory for Mailman - this is where the held messages are stored. You can actually scan the heldmsg files manually and delete ones that might be overly large. cd /usr/local/mailman/data ls -l The default message format in version 2.1 is pickle (instead of text), but you can still easily look at each held message by using the strings command (strings is a utility that used to be loaded by default, if you don't have it loaded it's very easy to find). strings heldmsg-b2b-list-1.pck Deleting the heldmsg's here does not delete them from your lists request.db file, but when you run admindb for the list, that will compare the heldmsg files to the ones in request.db and then update request.db (the handling of the request.db file is a lot smarter in version 2.1 of Mailman). In other words,once you launch the Web-admindb everything should sync up and you will just see the messages you left that need approving. It *should* work at this point. assuming that problem was a bad email and you deleted the bad email If not, I recommend removing that lists request.db file: /usr/local/mailman/lists/b2b-list/request.db Just rename the file to something else and then try launching the web-admindb again.

Re: [Mailman-Users] MemoryError in htmlformat.py
Hmmm Now that is a good question! I assume you tried copying the heldmsg files back into the data directory and then running the web-admindb (and that didn't work?) If so then try sending a message to the list that would be held for moderation and then replace the heldmsg-...pck file that is created with one of the ones you copied off (just renaming it). Then approve the moderated message and see if that does the job proper. If that doesn't work, you can use the strings command to find who sent the message and drop them a note asking them to resend the message. Good Luck (and let us know what happens!)
