[Mailman-Users] how to remove all the pending messages?

[Soon-Son Kwon]

Thanks for your reply.

But it seems that 1.1.x works differently.
There is no held messages in ~mailman/data.
I checked for the same situation in 2.0.x so
I know the filename type which should exist in that
directory for your recipe to be effective... :-(

Thanks anyway...
