Thanks for the suggestion. Except there aren't any :-)
My exim4.config has:
mailman_director:
driver = accept
require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/$local_part/config.pck
local_part_suffix_optional
local_part_suffix = -bounces : -bounces+* : \
-confirm+* : -join : -leave : \
-owner : -request : -admin
transport = mailman_transport
So I guess what I should have done is just remove
MAILMAN_HOME/lists/list-to-delete/config.pck ... ???
But I believe this file is shared with the code that generates the
archive stuff.
