[Mailman-Users] Bouncing address problems....

[Richard Idalski]

Whoa... me thinks you're on to something, I'm running v2.08 which I upgraded
a few days ago. when i run chec_db on that particular db I get :


root at lists bin]# ./check_db ../lists/affiliates/config.db
/home/mailman/lists/../lists/affiliates/config.db/config.db cannot be
opened:
        Not a directory
/home/mailman/lists/../lists/affiliates/config.db/config.db.last cannot be
opened:
        Not a directory

***** ALERT *****
Both the original database file and the backup seem
corrupted.  You will probably need to recover both
    /home/mailman/lists/../lists/affiliates/config.db/config.db
and
    /home/mailman/lists/../lists/affiliates/config.db/config.db.last
from a system backup, or remove the list `../lists/affiliates/config.db' and
re-create it from scratch.

   So It looks like I'l be recreating the list after all.

One other thing I'm wondering is that this address is getting these errors
fro multiple lists that it's on. Could they all eb corrupt? If so what could
cause multiple lists to be corrupt?

  Thanks Again,

		Richard Idalski

This is either a bug or an error in your config file.  What version of
Mailman are your running?  Have run
  ~mailman/bin/check_db  ~mailman/lists/<listname>/config.db

???
