[Mailman-Users] RECALL is creating infinite loop?

[Tim Tyler]

Mailman experts,

 We are running Mailman version 2.1.10 on a Centos 5.2 system.  Recently a
user sent a RECALL command to one of our lists to retract a message.  This
seems to have created an infinite loop relating to bounces.

 

  For some reason something got corrupted, probably related to the Message
ID as shown from one of the log entries below:

I get one of these bounce messages about every 10 minutes or so.    This is
not a pending message.  So what might be going wrong and how do I clean up
the list so that the request stops bouncing?  Is there some file I can empty
out?
