Thanks to the help of Jon Carnes, I was able to get mailman up and running again.

If any of you need any assistance, I suggest you contact Jon as he is very knowledgeable and professional and knows mailman.

It looks to have been a corrupted incoming message in the /var/lib/mailman/qfile/in directory. I could not have fixed this without Jon's expert knowledge.

Thanks also to those that pointed me in the direction of the lock files.

Thanks Jon.

Good call.  Some systems run through a security check on boot and reset
permissions.

My guess is that the reboot caused a file being written to in one his
queues to be incomplete or corrupt.

(of course - we're all just dancing in the dark...)

Sorry for not giving more information, I am completely stressed.

I have mailman v 2.1.x and qrunner is running. In /var/lib/mailman/qfiles/shunt it is full of files. They appear to be filling up there. Any Ideas?



If messages are being shunted, are you certain that nothing is being written to $prefix/logs/error; that is what I would expect to be happening with shunts. If not is it possible that the permissions of the logs directory have gotten screwed up? It might be worth running check_perms to see if that makes any difference. Aside from that ...

btw: what was the reason for the reboot? Any possibility of the cause being something that has affected MM's operation?

my mailing lists have been working for many month and all of a sudden after a reboot, fail to send. I get no errors and in the /var/log/mail is shows:

Feb 3 14:10:40 mail postfix/local[12282]: 8C5AD18EC02: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent ("|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post alert")

I is sending to the list but the list is not sending out to the recipients. This is urgent, anyone have any ideas?


You do not say what version of MM you are running but:

If MM 2.0.x: is the mailman user's crontab installed and executing the qrunner?

If MM 2.1.x: has $prefix/bin/mailmanctl been executed to start the qrunners and is the mailman user's crontab installed?

In either version case are files accumulating under the $prefix/qfiles directory?
