Howmany messages are in the archive mailbox ? What kind of machine is it ?
2675 messages, not that many. I removed 3 messages with large attachments, re-ran arch and it ran just fine. Before, when it reached the 12MB attachement, it ate more than 400MB
I am moving mailman to an up to date machine, but in the meantime: oxygen:~# rpm -qf /usr/bin/python python-1.5.1-5
Maybe a newer python will help.
arch *does* load the entire mailbox into memory, though. How large is the mailbox in total ?
Not that big, 25MB.
[ Have no real answer to the other questions, so sorry for not answering ]
Eh, one answer is already good :-)
