[Mailman-Users] Mailman error

[Jon Carnes]

Version 2.0.13 is perfectly respectable.

Is the server admin address *really* set to "you at your.address"?
In anycase, you should be able to look in the qfiles and move the files
out of there and the list should start going again.  If there are a lot
of files, you might want to put some back after everything is running
and see if they go though.  You probably just have a bad message
(corrupt header) or a mis-config for your admin address.

Oh, and with that version, you'll also have to go into the lock files
and delete any of them that aren't in use.  The files have the name of
the process that is running as a part of their name, so a "ps ax" will
reveal whether the process is still running or not.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
