How can I recover from this error? Probably have to remove some index and archive files. When I free the list, the error happens again, since the mail was held. Digest size limit exceeded, sending special issue... Reindexing CMDEPT-L LOG0009... To [log in to unmask]: An error occurred while logging mail to the archives of the CMDEPT-L list I would guess I should delete cmdept-l.dbindex and cmdept-l.dbnames How about cmdept-l.dbrindex. -- -- Bill Verity - 814-865-4758 Fax: 814-863-7049 215A Computer Building - Center for Academic Computing, Penn State University At the office - on my Mac, of course ;-)
