I set up a script that drains the que. It first shows the subject of each:
Define your mailman prefix and then
cd $PREFIX/data
for listname in `ls heldmsg-*|sed 's/heldmsg-//' | \
sed 's/\-[0-9]*\.txt*//'| sort -u `
do
echo "Messages queued to list $listname"
egrep "^From:|^Subject:" *$listname*
echo "drain que? (y/n) "
read ans
case $ans in
Y|YES|y|yes)
cp $PREFIX/request-template.db \
$PREFIX/lists/$listname/request.db
rm $PREFIX/data/heldmsg-$listname*
;;
*)
continue
;;
esac
done
Note the request-template.db which is just an empty request.db from one
of the un-queued-up lists.
