[Mailman-Users] Wiping all mailman data

[Brian T]

Hi,

I made some modifications to the Switchboard.py class. I think I probably
broke something that caused some nonsense data to be saved, because now
when I restart mailman (with /etc/init.d/mailman restart), I get the
following in my error log file:

Jun 13 22:15:29 2012 qrunner(3325): Traceback (most recent call last):

self._switchboard.files()

 12 Jun 13 22:15:29 2012 qrunner(3325): ValueError :  invalid literal for
float(): rcvtime

I've since restored the original version of Switchboard.py, but I still get
this error, making me suspect that some bad data has been saved, which is
being reloaded on mailman restart and (eventually) causing this error.

So, I was wondering: what do I need to do to wipe all data that mailman
saves such that mailman is restored to a completely "fresh" state, as if I
had just installed it? I realize this will destroy all mailing lists etc.,
but that's fine.

Thanks!
