[Mailman-Users] mailman error after server crash

[Carlos Bergero]

Thx for the tip Mark, I remove the file but and the error stop, but the 
list disapear from the list_lists, I try with some cofnig.pck.last file 
that was in a backup dir but those files where corrupt also.
Is there any way to edit this file and fix it or recover it in some way?

Sincerely 
              Carlos
