[Mailman-Users] Archive problem...

[Mike Avery]

I'm using Mailman 2.0.8 and have been having some problems with my archives.  I hope 
someone can give me a suggestion as to how to clear up the mess.

Some of the mailing lists are fine, but in a few mailing lists, only the last two months 
are available from the web menu.  Looking in the 
/usr/local/mailbox/archive/public/<newsgroup> directory and at the 
/usr/local/mailbox/archive/public/<newsgroup>.mbox/<newsgroup>.mbox makes me 
think all the data is there.

A look at the /usr/local/mailbox/logs/error files shows lots of corrupt file errors.  
I've copied the traceback for the most recent run on one of the mailing lists.
