If you are saying that the two lines [----- start pickle file -----] [----- end pickle file -----] were the entire output from bin/dumpdb, then I agree that config.pck was corrupt. >So I dug around and found a old config.pck for that list from last >year and saved it to the lists/listname directory and -- wonders of >wonders -- the list's webpages are all back including members and >archives.

I would be concerned about 2 things. The Oct 3 2005 file is less than half the size of the 'current' files. This is probably because that file has a lot fewer list members. Also, the Sept 29 config.pck and config.pck.last are 6 bytes different in size. This suggests to me that the config.pck.last was successfully accessed and updated to produce the corrupt config.pck. Thus, I am surprised that it too is corrupt, but it does appear to be. Possibly your power outage caused the corruption 'outside' of Mailman - maybe some disk cache didn't get flushed. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
