Are you sure that the issue is saved bounce info? Spam should not cause bounce info to be saved. Unrecognized bounces (spam sent to the list-bounces address) does not store bounce info. Have you run Mailman's bin/dumpdb on the config.pck files to verify that the size is due to stale bounce info? If you have a 15MB config.pck, that would be the expected size for a list of some tens of thousands of members. If your list has significantly fewer members than that, then I am really curious to know what is in it. Anyway, yes there is a script. See <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/fix_bad_bounce_info.py> (mirrored at <http://fog.ccsf.cc.ca.us/~msapiro/scripts/fix_bad_bounce_info.py>). This withlist script will remove all bounce info for non-members (there should never be any, but ...) and will also remove stale bounce info for list members. It will not remove non-stale bounce info, and it will not remove bounce info for a member with delivery disabled by bounce, as that is still used to control the notices and eventual removal of the member by cron/disabled. Let us know how this works for you. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
