Okay, I tried that but it didn't seem to help, so I rebooted the system. Still no joy. From the qrunner log: Dec 26 15:11:02 2001 (855) Could not acquire qrunner lock Dec 26 15:12:02 2001 (879) Could not acquire qrunner lock Dec 26 15:13:02 2001 (886) Could not acquire qrunner lock Dec 26 15:14:02 2001 (896) Could not acquire qrunner lock Dec 26 15:14:24 2001 (898) Could not acquire qrunner lock Dec 26 15:15:03 2001 (914) Could not acquire qrunner lock Dec 26 15:16:01 2001 (929) Could not acquire qrunner lock Dec 26 15:17:02 2001 (933) Could not acquire qrunner lock And new locks have been created: /usr/local/mailman/logs# ls -al ../locks/ total 4 drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 512 Dec 26 15:28 . drwxrwsr-x 18 mailman mailman 512 Oct 31 14:55 .. -rw-rw-r-- 2 mailman mailman 69 Dec 27 00:57 qrunner.lock -rw-rw-r-- 2 mailman mailman 69 Dec 27 00:57 qrunner.lock.straylight.primelogic.com.71237 The strange thing is, Mailman's three lists were working perfectly until the 24th. I ran check_perms to see if permissions had gotten changed somehow, but they're okay. But there's something I'm not comprehending here. A working system shouldn't just suddenly stop working. .\\ichelle >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Michelle Brownsworth >Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2001 4:31 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Cc: Richard Idalski >Subject: RE: [Mailman-Users] Mailman not sending out mail > > >>Is anything showing up in mailman's error log? $prefix/mailman/logs/error. >>There could be something there to shed some light on this.
