I've had way too much experience with this lately... :( Mailman soldiers on just fine. The problems we've run into are with some of mailman's files getting corrupted because they weren't synced to disk when the machine crashed -- the standard problem with any crash. I've had to rebuild a couple of list config databases, and toss out a few corrupted pending pickles. We plan to try the synchronous-write option, do backups (!), and maybe even replace the flakey hardware that's been causing the crashes. -les _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
