First of all, if you're on Mailman 2.1.9, you should remove all lists/*/config.db* files from your installation. These are left over from Mailman 2.0.x and contain obsolete data, but if present could be used if a config.pck becomes corrupt. The current files are the lists/*/config.pck* files. >So, I'm not sure what my best option is, there are only 38 members of the >list, are we better off recreating the list or is there a way to recreate >the subscriber list easily?

Run bin/dumpdb lists/LISTNAME/config.pck If the bad address is in that output, you can see in what attribute(s) it exists and modify them manually with bin/withlist. Also, see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/UIA9>. If the bad address exists only in a config.db file, just remove the file, but you may also need to see what apparently obsolete cron job is accessing that file and why. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
