Hello!
Two of my lists arent working. The error log says:
Jul 12 16:22:30 1998 post: Traceback (innermost last): post: File "/var/lib/mailman/scripts/mailowner", line 40, in ? post: current_list = maillist.MailList(sys.argv[1]) post: File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/maillist.py", line 64, in __init__ post: self.Load() post: File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/maillist.py", line 554, in Load post: raise mm_cfg.MMBadListError, 'Failed to unmarshal config info' post: AttributeError : MMBadListError
What could have caused this and how do I fix it ?

Sounds like the config.db for the lists somehow got corrupted. I haven't seen this happen to any of the python.org or other lists i run (mostly 1.0b4, some with the current development code). Did you find any prior errors in the error log? Any abnormal incidents on the host leading up to it??
If you'd like, you could send me a (mime-attached or uuencoded tar archive) copy of the config.db files for each of the lists, and i can see if there's anything i can glean, and salvalge, from them...

It seems the other admin of the server has done something that crashed the server, so the file corrupted... fortunatelly there was config.db.last

Ah, I'm glad this feature works :) Perhaps if the file can't be loaded, it can try the last file.

That would be nice. And warn the admin, of course.
Btw it seems I have lost several digests because sendmail did not accept connections on port 25 at that time... it could be a config option not to connect to port 25 but use sendmail -bs so not much should be changed (sendmail -bs talks smtp), just the invocation.

Yeah, this problem is becoming a FAQ. There will be a solution to the problem in the next release, and if I have time, I'll allow an external command to work instead.
