[Mailman-Users] ghost in the admin db?

[Michael Boudreau]

Could these be features of Mailman 2.0? There are no request.db files in 
any of our list directories.

The ~/mailman/data/ directory has

    adm.pw
    pending_subscriptions.db

and a bunch of files with names like "mm_q.11445.1".

I have found an FAQ entry "1.12. How do I automatically delete held 
messages?" which refers to these request.db files too, but I can't find any 
on our system (we have over a dozen lists in a mailman 1.1 installation). 
Perhaps the FAQ is accurate only for version 2.0...although I don't see any 
notice to this effect.
