Leaping before I look, once again. Of course it is. I followed the advice and checked for a running qrunner. There was none. I went to /usr/share/mailman/locks/ and deleted *a ton* of lock files, including many for the same list. > This is normal in Mailman version 2.0.x which you are *probably* running > (you didn't tell us your version or really anything about your system - > shame on you!) I do respond well to shaming, so yes, I'm running mailman 2.0.13-0.7.0 aka the RedHat RPM version of 2.0.13 on RedHat 7.0 > Why is qrunner still running? Well its delivering mail to folks on your > mailing lists. As your lists grow larger qrunner takes longer to run. I think now I understand what qrunner does, or rather is supposed to do on normal systems. But here's why I'm nosing around the qrunner log file in the first place. It's not delivering messages. If I create a new list, or subscribe someone new, mailman sends the usual feedback messages. But list traffic is nowhere to be found. I just sent a message to my test list, and it's created new lock files: qrunner.lock and qrunner.lock.linux.jungle.ottawa.on.ca.7138 top tells me there's no mailman process running. My error log has a few of these in them: AlreadyLockedError: Oct 07 10:42:02 2002 qrunner(7059): Traceback (innermost last): Oct 07 10:42:02 2002 qrunner(7059): File "/usr/share/mailman/cron/qrunner", line 283, in ?

Should I post this to the list? Or is this a FAQ too? cmkl -- Chris Lawson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jungle.ca ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
