So what has probably happened is that archiving has been broken since the upgrade on Aug 25. There should be a an error message with traceback in Mailman's 'error' log for each message that wasn't archived. More importantly, the unarchived messages should all be in Mailman's 'shunt' queue and running Mailman's bin/unshunt should process them for the archive. > So would there be anything besides a “—wipe” that could otherwise be done to > prevent this archive breakage?

The answer is don't do that. Or if you didn't do that, then the answer may lie in whatever changed in Python. You should never be running bin/arch without --wipe unless you are importing archives from elsewhere to be added to an existing archive, and even in that case, it might be preferable to stop Mailman, concatenate the existing Mailman mbox and import mbox into a combined mbox and run 'bin/arch --wipe'. Then after success, start Mailman again. You should also consider running the contrib/mmdsr script from the Mailman source distro or if not that, somehow looking a Mailman's error log frequently for problems to discover them sooner. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
