[Mailman-Users] recovering from a "no space left on device" error

Earlier this morning the partition containing our mailman install (including archives) filled up. We were alerted to this by error messages being returned when trying to send emails. We cleared up some disk space, but did not restart mailman. Users no longer got the error message when posting to a

[Mailman-Users] single list has stopped working while others continue to work

Hello I am running mailman v.2.1.5 (installed from source) on RHEL ES 3 using kernel 2.4.21-47. We are using Sendmail 8.12.11. We have been running this version of mailman successfully for the last two years with few problems. However, today I seem to have run into a real head-scratcher. We run a

[Mailman-Users] can't access /admin or /admindb/ for one of my lists, other lists work fine

Hi Folks I've googled the archives and poked around as much as I could, but cannot find the answer to my problem, so I figured I'd post to the list to see if anyone had any ideas. We had a very large number of moderation messages for one of our lists (33,000+) so I went to mailman/data and manual
