[Mailman-Users] mladmin script

Hello,

I recently completed an upgrade from Mailman 2.0.11 -> 2.1.4 on
our server, and things seem to have gone reasonably well (we did
get bit briefly by the requirement to modify aliases in
/etc/aliases though).

I do have two questions, however, that I'm hoping someone on the
list can help clarify.

1.
Due to the ungodly quantity of spam that our lists are currently
receiving, we had been making use a neat perl script called
'mladmin' that we found on Sourceforge.  Basically it allows
long queues of held posts to be deleted all at once, instead of
the labour-intensive 'discard one-by-one via the web admin
interface' approach.

Since the upgrade, unfortunately, the mladmin script no longer
works :-(  It reports the queue as empty even when there
actually are held posts in queue, and it reports no errors.  Has
anyone else experienced this, and is there a workaround or
solution?

2.
Is there any plan to include a feature in Mailman that will
allow long spam-filled queue's to be deleted all at one time?  I
really hope so, because the current web interface is really just
too time-consuming for our list moderators, given the high
volume of spam we are receiving.

Thanks in advance for help received,
Raymond
