Thanks for your mail.
The problem was with the mail size and i rectified the same.
But one thing, that particular list in which i had mail size restricted to 2 MB, still guys were sending mails with huge attachments, and that was not moderated properly.
In the above case, will the mail still sit on the queue ? or will it sit on the queue once the mail is approved?
Thanks

I've been away for a couple of days and only just got your message (and seen the posts and response on the mailman users list).
I notice that you said in one response to Jon Carnes:

My experience with very large emails like these (and indeed smaller than 30 Mbytes) is that they can bring Mailman to its knees, particularly when the list to which such large postings are being made are being archived.
I'd suggest:
1. stopping the qrunner
2. moving very large .msg files and their companion .db files in the $prefix/qfiles directory into some other temporary location
Then restart the qrunner. If my guess about big files is correct, then Mailman will start to clear the backlog of smaller emails.
With my installation, I've stopped allowing very large posts to mail lists. Where possible I get people to put the large files somewhere the other list members can access rather than attaching them to email to a mail list. If the originator can give access either through NFS (on the local network) or with HTTP from the their public_html directory, they can mail out the file path or URL so that list members can collect a copy of the large attachment if they want to.
