Some list's lists/LISTNAME/request.pck file is corrupt. Yes, it can be deleted if you know which one. If you don't, you can try #!/bin/sh cd ~mailman (or whatever) for list in `bin/list_lists --bare`; do echo $list bin/dumpdb lists/$list/request.pck > /dev/null done which should throw the same TypeError on the bad file. Note that this will lose everything that you would have seen on the list's admindb page were the file not corrupted, but it's basically lost anyway. If there are held messages, they are in files named data/heldmsg-LISTNAME-nnn.*. If you want to try to recover these (if any), see <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/hold_again>. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
