Check to see if the configuration file was corrupted: ~mailman/bin/check_db ~mailman/lists/<listname>/config.db
If not, see if you can access the configuration via the command line: ~mailman/bin/list_members ~mailman/bin/add_members Some larger lists take too long to load on slower servers, so the maintenance has to be done via the command line. There are several work-arounds for this. My favorite is to put aside a small part of the RAM as a drive and then to mount that RAM drive over the list configuration directory. You have to take care to copy off the files to another location that is really on disk. Do it hourly and on shutdown, then on startup load it back in. An other clever variation on this is to create a small disk partition the same size as the RAM drive and mount the two as a RAID 1 drive. The RAM disk information will then automatically be taken care of my the OS.
