[Mailman-Users] OverflowError: mktime argument out of range

[Jon Carnes]

Either your archive is corrupt, or one of the emails has a corrupt
header, or one of the emails has a header with bogus info in it that is
causing the Archiver to barf.

Take a look at the last message in your archives, then look at the next
message in your lists mbox and see if it is indeed corrupt. If not, then
simply move the old archives to a temp area and then re-create the
archives using the ~mailman/bin/arch command (look at the command for an
example of how to use it).

If that doesn't fix it, then the problem is most likely in the message
that is trying to be archived.  Remove or fix that message.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
