I'm Running mailman 2.1.7 on gentoo.
When i want to approve a message which needs for some reason my approval (e.g. from a wrong adress or sent BCC) i "hit a bug". It seems that it does not give any problems when the message to be approved is very small.... But when an attachment is included mailman hits a bug.
How big are these attachments?

admin(22759): File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/ListAdmin.py", line 581, in readMessage admin(22759): msg = cPickle.load(fp) admin(22759): MemoryError
The Python process run via cgi from the web server has run out of memory in attempting to retrieve the message from the held message pickle where it's stored. This is a file in Mailman's 'data' directory named heldmsg-listname-nnn.pck (where listname is the name of the list and nnn is a sequence number). How big is this file? can you successfully dump it with bin/dumpdb? Does your OS or web server somehow limit the size of cgi programs?
