[Mailman-Users] Bug in Mailman error on ListInfo Page

Fri Feb 27 22:08:46 CET 2009

Thanks Mark, that fixed the problem.

The pending.pck file had a date of Sep 2007 with a file size of zero.

And yes, I did change that list address. Always feel kind of queasy  
about giving out that much info for one of my lists to a public  
mailing list.

By the way, visiting the listinfo pages was not the problem. Only  
subscribing from them.
