I'm sorry to turn up in your support forum again, Mark. I've fought hard here to try to avoid that. The truth is it was our struggle with trying to configure my old server for mailman back in June and July that proved to be the straw that broke the camel's back with my old dedicated server hosting

First, I was wrong here. I was so horrified at the thought of having lost all those old messages that I got the date wrong. It's actually worse than I remembered. The last archive update appears to have happened in early July... not early August. My last backup from the old server was September
