No. Fedora has its own ideas about where the components of mailman should live and its broken up all over and the code a tiny bit modified to facilitate that - some in /usr/lib, some in /var/lib, some in /var/spool, some in /etc. Its a pain to work with. In /var/spool there is a mailman directory with these sub directories. I presumed they were normally in the /home/mailman archive bounces commands in news out retry shunt virgin They are not the usual sendmail queues, its before that stage. > >>The data directory fills up with .pck files and directories in >>the spool dir fill up with mail files.

Not sure I understand you. It doesn't get as far as the usual sendmail queues.
