Mailman consultant needed - 50.00/hour
I had a ton of held messages and managed to remove them all via the "discard" program… it tooks hours to get rid of them.
But even so, the request.pck file was (and is) still huge.

Hello, I have a Linode that has been running mailman just fine for about 1 year. However, recently it has been eating up the memory so that I have no swap space and the Python process runs for a long period of time taking 72% of the memory.
Did you get this one sorted out?

I need help. I discarded the held messages a while back and now there are still more held messages there.

I assume you own your own linode? Can we meet in the #linode channel and chat? I just need to make sure the ops know you and then you can get into my box and fix this.
