Hi, then how about 'strings' ? Email-Addresses. A lot of them, although I can't see how many. But I fear something is not right as it (partly) looks as follows: --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] kJVe0ZnAr [EMAIL PROTECTED] John Doe [EMAIL PROTECTED] U Jane Doe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Janis Doe l ElikararU

Hi again. Have you also tried bin/update --force ? However, it didn't help at all. Again, it stripped the backup-file (that I had renamed to config.pck before executing the above command) from 533 KB to 83 KB - and still the old (no good) subscriber list. I guess there is config.pck.last and

Hi, sorry for this rather long email, but I made some observations, see below. I guess there is config.pck.last and mailman fallbacks to it knowing the backup config.pck is corrupted. Anticipating that, I had deleted the .last-file, even replaced them with the backup-file. No difference.

Hello, I'm a bit in a loss here: I was running Mailman 2.1.2 on Debian 3.0 with no problems. Using apt-get... to upgrade Mailman to 2.1.4 produced an error. Well, besides the fact that all my archives got deleted (why would a script (!) do that??), I finally got Mailman back up and running
