No, the error logfiles are completely empty. The only file that still contains fresh log-messages is qrunner (restart messages). zzzz:/var/log/mailman# ls -l [...] -rw-rw-r-- 1 list list 0 Jun 11 06:25 smtp -rw-rw-r-- 1 list list 0 Jun 11 06:25 smtp-failure -rw-rw-r-- 1 list list 0 Jun 10 06:25 smtp-failure.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 list list 880 Jun 11 06:25 smtp-failure.2.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 list list 0 Jun 10 06:25 smtp.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 list list 599 Jun 11 06:25 smtp.2.gz [...] zzzz:/var/log/mailman# > I don't think you mentioned this before. Has something changed? Are you > now getting mail to exim and rejected by exim? What does the reject > from exim say? The original mail, sent to the mailinglist, bounces. Exim gives the mail to mailman, mailman returns an error, so exim returns the mail to the sender with the message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] local delivery failed This has been the case all the time, as I understand it mailman fails because it cannot send the mails to the users of the mailinglist and returns this to exim. I also did not get mails from Mailman when I created the mailinglist. > Does the time stamp change on SMTPDirect.pyc and SMTPDirect.pyo if any? > If not, try just removing them. Interesting. These two files were last changed in March 2005!
