It sounds like the config.db for one of your lists was corrupted. Did you have an unexpected power failure recently? I did on Sunday and lost the config.db for two of my high traffic lists. About half of the file was written over with null bytes.
I wrote a tool (Win32, although it should be easy to port to Unix) to extract the addresses from config.db if you are interested. Mailman stores each address in there 3 or 4 times, so even with half of the file missing I was able to recover everything. I sent email to all of the addresses telling people to resubscribe and started the lists over from scratch. I put the tool online at http://www.phred.org/~alex/dumpconfig Here is sample usage: > dumpconfig config.db.test config file is 8028 bytes user options { [EMAIL PROTECTED]=8 } members { [EMAIL PROTECTED]=0 } passwords { [EMAIL PROTECTED]=xxxxxx } digest members { } > dumpconfig config.db.test | perl membershiplist.pl [EMAIL PROTECTED] This isn't an ideal solution, but it worked for me when I didn't have a recent enough backup. alex On Wed, 25 Sep 2002, Angel Gabriel wrote: > What the hell is this!?!? all of a sudden I got this in my email... > > -----Original Message----- > From: Cron Daemon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 9:37 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Cron <mailman@raw-talent> /usr/bin/python -S > /var/mailman/cron/senddigests > > > Traceback (innermost last): > File "/var/mailman/cron/senddigests", line 65, in ? > main() > File "/var/mailman/cron/senddigests", line 42, in main > send_list_digest(mlist) > File "/var/mailman/cron/senddigests", line 46, in send_list_digest > mlist.Lock() > File "/var/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 1345, in Lock > self.Load() > File "/var/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 886, in Load > raise Errors.MMUnknownListError > Mailman.Errors.MMUnknownListError > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------ > Mailman-Users mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users > Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py > Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ > ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
