Hi,
I am trying to remove manually some large pending mails. It seems that these mails are included in $prefix/lists/listname/config.db
My questions:
- What is the format of this database file?
- What is the best way of editing this file?
- Is there a document describing the general file structure of mailman + archiver?
Best regards, Peter J Slot L&D/TopNordic A/S

It is a Python marshal containing a Python dictionary.

Hmm. You could use bin/withlist. Lock the mailing list, edit its attributes and save it back to disk.
