You can view them with Mailman's bin/dumpdb >I checked two of the lists that have these files >associated with it and mailman does not see held messages via the web >GUI. Do I need these messages or can they be deleted? If the messages do not show up in the admindb GUI for the associated list (usually it's the converse that's true - i.e.people rm the files and the requests.pck data doesn't get updated), the files can be removed, but in all cases it is better to use Mailman's bin/discard to remove them. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/nIA9>. You should also consider using the lists' max_days_to_hold setting to keep large numbers of held messages from accumulating. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
