It doesn't seem to time out either, at over 20 minutes. The Python process keeps getting bigger until it is using about 200M of RAM, then it fluctuates by 5 or 10M. And while it is running you can't open another window on any admin activity on that list. And some people thought I was overspecifiying by getting 1GB or RAM in that server! <grin> I'm going to start it up again, and see if it finishes after 2 or three hours, or times out. By the way, this is not a big list, it has 8 subscribers, and a few real messages a month. The problem with this list is that we have about 2000 pages of documentation on our web site, each with a link to this list. In some of the spam storms in the last few months the number of messages from non-subscribers got a bit out of control, so we turned off allowing messages from non-subscribers. The next version of the docs will have a link to a form.
