[Peer Heinlein]

Some days ago my server startet forgetting some
imcoming mails to some special lists. SInce then I receive
the followin error-notes on my Server.

Could somebody explain me what`s going on very fast?
Some of my important mailinglists aren`t usable any more.

It looks like the file containing your pending actions got
corrupted. Possibly you had a disk corruption, or out of
space problem, or something similar. If you have a
data/pending.pck.tmp file, move that to data/pending.pck.
Otherwise you'll have to simply remove the data/pending.pck
file, but if you do that you'll lose all your pending
subscriptions and held messages.

Moving status to pending since I haven't heard any followup
from the submitter.
