Please reply. It's likely that one or another of the list archive indexes got messed up. The LISTSERV postmaster can fix that by HOLDing the list (so no postings are processed), deleting those index files from the list's archive ("NOTEBOOK") directory, and then FREEing the list. LISTSERV will rebuild the index files and postings/archiving should work again. I think the files which need to be recreated include listname.DBINDEX, listname.DBNAMES and listname.DBRINDEX Peter R > Copy of the error message > > "An error occurred while logging mail to the archives of the NAEEEXEC > list.
