That's probably correct. >Is there any way to fix the problem? If your Mailman version is 2.1.6 or later, set General Options -> max_days_to_hold to a small non-zero number and either run cron/checkdbs manually or wiat for it to run as scheduled. If 2.1.5 or earlier remove lists/<listname>/request.pck or lists/<listname>/request.db depending on version. In this case, you will also lose any outstanding (un)subscribe requests. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
