Not very. The FAQ article is about 3 years old, and the list archive thread it refers to regards a Mailman 2.0.11 installation >Does >anyone else still run into this on the newer versions?

Then if things don't clear out, check for stale locks from the ArchRunner process. See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.076.htp>. That chould get things goung normally, but the messages to be archived will start piling up in the qfiles/archive queue. Then you need to figure out what's wrong. Can you pinpoint a specific list? If so, you could just try rebuilding its archive with bin/arch --wipe <listname> and then restart ArchRunner with /usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=ArchRunner:0:1 -s or by stopping and starting mailmanctl (IIRC restart won't restart ArchRunner if it was SIGTERMed). Note that rebuilding the archive with bin/arch is not a step to be taken lightly as it MAY renumber messages and invalidate saved URLs, but if the issue is a corrupt archives/private/<listname>/database/* file, there may be no choice. You may also wish to check the archives/private/<listname>.mbox/<listname>.mbox file with bin/cleanarch before running bin/arch. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
