It appears that the archiver eats an awful lot of processor power - so much that the backlog caused by the earlier bug was taking ages to clear. The qrunner would sit in the second part of ToArchive::process for around fifteen minutes whilst holding onto the list lock which stopped the web interface from working. Once I discovered that's where the problem was I set ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX to 1 and suddenly huge amounts of email that had been delayed for nearly a week started flooding through. So, in summary, a P133 with 96Mb of RAM is not up to running even a relatively low volume list (50 messages per day) when ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX is set to 2. :-) -- Mike Crowe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
