[Mailman-Users] Problem with mailinglist/archives.

Nope, no stale locks. It was having problems like that before, so I deleted the
list (saved the config file) and recreated the list, imported the config file,
and ran the arch command to reindex the archives - which got me to where I am
now. The mail goes to the list just fine, but the archives won't update.
