My filesystem recently crashed, breaking some aspects of my mailman
installation.
The email portion of the list itself is still functioning (for
non-digest subscribers), and all the archives are intact. But I seem to
be missing some config pickles that are preventing digest delivery,
emergency moderation, and probably other features that I haven't
stumbled upon yet.
All of the broken items generate the following message in the logs:
Apr 21 09:00:01 2011 (29813) couldn't load config file

Indeed, these files were lost in the filesystem crash, and I do not have
backups of them.
What are my options here? Can I do something like:
- export list of users
- move the broken list out of the way
- create a new list with the same name
- resubscribe members
- copy the old archives back into the new list
What gotchas am I going to run across trying to do something like the
above?
Any other suggestions?
Appreciate any guidance ...
Cheers,
