I'm running mailman 2.1.2 on Solaris 9, with Qmail 1.0.3 and Python 2.2.2. I'm testing switching mailing lists from our sendmail/majordomo system to our qmail/mailman system, and this issue is a showstopper for us.
The issue is that, occasionally, mailman decides to start discarding posts to a list that we host. The vette log states that messages are discarded, but nothing else.
At the same time, if I look at the digest.mbox file for this list, all posts that are being discarded are also appended to the digest.mbox file as they come in.
The digest.mbox file never grew past its default maximum size of 30Kb: half an hour after digests were supposed to be sent out, its size was 29330 bytes. Only after the list started discarding posts did the size of the digest.mbox file grow past its maximum size, to 107Kb.
If I cp digest.mbox digest.mbox.bak ; cat /dev/null > digest.mbox everything starts working again, as normal.
Without good logs of what's going on, I have no idea how to pin this issue down. I've also searched all documentation I can find, including the mailing list archives for mailman-users and mailman-developers, and the only query I can find is my own from 6/1/2003. Does anyone have any ideas?
BTW, please reply back to me directly. I'm not subscribed to mailman-developers. Thanks in advance.
