Hi everybody,
Sometime last week outpost.ds9a.nl''s disk filled up and mailman
corrupted
one of its databases. It took quite some time to fix this, for which I
apologize.
But we''re back now!
For posterity, the log file reported:
Nov 13 13:27:33 2004 (25374) Delivery exception: EOF read where object
expected

The solution was to delete the request.db (or at least move it), which
unwedged mailman mostly. The final solution was to run
''listzap'' by Wichert
Akkerman, which zonked the outstanding requests database, allowing the
mailman administrative website to function again. Thanks Wichert!
Anyhow, happy LARTC-ing!
