I have been using mailman for the vtkusers list for about a year now. Everything was going quite well, until a disk crashed. I was able to recover the old, lists and everything seemed to be going well. I am running this: FreeBSD 4.4-RC3 mailman-2.0.6 About three days ago the mail stopped. As far as the logs I am getting a bunch of this stuff: ....

Any ideas for a fix would be appreciated.
