I am having a serious problem with mailman with lists getting apparently corrupted and becoming none functional. The first symptom is you try to send a piece of mail to a list and it does nothing. The email just disappears into a black hole. There is a record in the maillog that them message came into the computer and was destine for mailman to process it. It then disappears, there is no record of it in the mailman logs and no other mention of it in the maillog. The next symptom you find is that you can no longer manage the list. When you try to log in either as the manager of the list or as the mailman manager the list does not respond to you. You get an error message saying "The attempt to load 'Accessing URL:http://mailserver/mailman/admin/agsupport/' failed".
After fighting this for a few weeks I found that the problem was due to the lock files having a problem. When I check the qrunner log, it shows problems with the lock files. If I delete the lock files the list goes a head and works again. Is there a known problem with the lock files, or is there something I need to look at in the configuration of the list or mailman. thanks, Tom -- /--------------------------------------------------------- | Tom Hillson Computer Services Manager | [EMAIL PROTECTED] College of Agriculture | http://www.ag.iastate.edu Iowa State University | (515) 294-1543 phone B2 Curtiss Hall | (515) 294-1349 fax Ames, IA 50011 --------------------------------------------------------- |"The only thing I have too much of is too little time" ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
