What's wrong with the mailman-users archive?

Hi,
As of 0900 JST (+0900), http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2003-January/date.html shows 12 messages archived but it also says there are 311 messages.
Looks like all the messages before Wed Jan 8 13:55:56 EST 2003 (in January 2003) are gone !
What happened ?

I think the HTML messages are there but the archive index page generation is going wrong, although new messages are being added to the truncated list on the index page. That said the gzipped text file of the archive is consistent with the index page.

Maybe related to the problem I've been seeing but maybe not; according to message headers on some mail coming from the list the time from the mailman server receiving posts to sending them out has been very lengthy (see headers below from one message). Before the list's index page was screwed up messages were appearing in the archives long before they were passed to the mail.python.org MTA for distribution to the list members.

We had some problems with mail delivery on python.org/zope.org. We now believe it was a SpamAssassin process that was hanging Exim delivery. We've got a stop gap measure in place which is getting mail flowing again. Looks like the hosage affected the archives. I'll attempt to rebuild them.
