I have a list that was sent a file with an attachement with too long a
name.  (See error below) now all mail to the list is being shunted.

the filename listed does not exist on my system.  There is no file on my system with that name.  
The directory /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/rca-l/attachments/20051207/3d04c3a4 is empty.

What do I need to do to resolve this problem?
