In a default Mailman install, the list data is in a Python pickle
stored in /usr/local/mailman/lists/LISTNAME/config.pck, but if this is
corrupt and the config.pck.last is corrupt too, the best you can do is
run strings on the file and try to make sense of the output.

Is this your Mailman installation or a hosted installation? If it is
hosted, you should be talking to your hosting provider to resolve this
issue or perhaps recover your list from a backup.

If this is your installation, if you tell us what the error information
and traceback from Mailman's error log is, we may be able to help you
find the problem.
