[Mailman-Users] Deleting pending.pck.tmp files

[João Sá Marta]

Greetings,


I’ve noticed that I have in my mailman installation (version 2.1.9.) a lot of pending.pck.tmp.XXXXXXX files in several mailing lists directories /home/mailman/lists/LISTNAME:

-rw-rw----   1 apache  mailman  6353027 Jan 17 11:02 pending.pck
-rw-rw----   1 apache  mailman   711556 Oct 26 17:23 pending.pck.tmp.1000.1509035033
-rw-rw----   1 apache  mailman 14136390 Oct 26 17:24 pending.pck.tmp.1017.1509035052
-rw-rw----   1 apache  mailman  1260000 Jan  6  2017 pending.pck.tmp.10183.1483700222
-rw-rw-—   1 apache  mailman 16083210 Aug 24 17:26 pending.pck.tmp.10631.1503592014


The contents of those files are subscriptions notifications.

Here is part of the output using /mailman/bin/dumpdb -p

 <UserDesc SWIFTUSMC at yahoo.com () [123456789] [digest? no] [en]>),

Is it safe to delete those files ?


Thanks in advance,
