[Mailman-Users] Re: Mailman post from mailman@math.vassar.edu requires approval

I am a mailman neophyte who is trying to use mailman on Mac OS X Server (10.3.4). Everything was working well until this morning when I got the following e-mail message.

If you reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact, Mailman will discard the held message. Do this if the message is spam. If you reply to this message and include an Approved: header with the list password in it, the message will be approved for posting to the list. The Approved: header can also appear in the first line of the body of the reply.

Attempting to visit http://math.vassar.edu/mailman/admindb/mailman and typing in the password leads to an error. Attempting to login to the admin page for the mailman list or the boardconfidential list leads to errors as well:

Traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/mailman/scripts/driver", line 87, in run_main main() File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 194, in main mlist.Save() File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 515, in Save self.__save(dict) File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 487, in __save os.unlink(fname_last) OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: '/private/var/mailman/lists/boardconfidential/config.pck.last'

Can someone give me a clue as to what's going wrong and what I need to do to fix it? Thanks thanks thanks!!!
