How do I blow away the admin queue for a list?
Due to a mail loop, I have several hundred post requests in one of my lists. I'd like to blow them all away without clicking 300 times on some web form.
I've looked around in the mailman tree, but I just can't find where those subscription messages are sitting.
Can someone give me a hint?
Thanks, Marc

I think i've already suggested this once in here :)

Yeah, that sucks a bit... What I ended up doing was dumping the list of users, copied a config.db from another list, changed through the web the fields that had to be changed, removed all the users and re-subscribed the old list of users. Mailman should really have some tool to access all of config.db from the command line.
Thanks for your help, Marc
