Before doing anything, show me the results of ls -la /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ and ls -la /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/ First you need to do something like rsync -a /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/ to copy the entire structure from /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ to /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/. Alternatively, assuming your /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/<listname>.mbox/<listname>.mbox files are good and contain all the messages except recent tests, you could just do something like ``` for list in `bin/list_lists --bare`; do bin/arch --wipe $list done to rebuild the archives from the .mbox files, but if any of the .mbox files go back before Mailman 2.1, they should first be checked with bin/cleanarch for unescaped 'From ' lines in message bodies and fixed first. >> Are new messages being appended to the >> /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/<listname>.mbox/<listname>.mbox files? > No This part I don't understand. What does ls -la /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/*.mbox show? -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan
