I would be concerned about 2 things. The Oct 3 2005 file is less than half the size of the 'current' files. This is probably because that file has a lot fewer list members. Also, the Sept 29 config.pck and config.pck.last are 6 bytes different in size. This suggests to me that the config.pck.last was successfully accessed and updated to produce the corrupt config.pck. Thus, I am surprised that it too is corrupt, but it does appear to be. Possibly your power outage caused the corruption 'outside' of Mailman - maybe some disk cache didn't get flushed. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Oh. bin/withlist -l -r fix_url listname -u hostname.com But that isn't the most of it. All attempts for the list are stating that no list by that name.

For example: bin/list_members latinteach No such list: latinteach You could try mv config.pck config.pck.2.bak mv config.pck.last config.pck I tried that. It didn't make any difference. We had a power outage last night and today we had issues with the lists distributing mail and digesting. I think that I have fixed all the other lists but this list seems to be the only one with this latent problem. I can't figure it out. The messages in the archive seem to be in place (at least I can read them with pine). I created a new list to work around this but when I try to get the members list, it states no such list. So I'm stuck. What does bin/list_lists report? What does bin/check_perms run as root report? What are the permissions on the lists/listname directory itself? What does bin/dumpdb lists/listname/config.pck report? (You can elide all the membership info.
