It's more like ...-> moderation -> queue for archiving -> queue for delivery with the processing of the archive queue and the outgoing queue handled by separate processes. Check all of Mailman's logs. >Looking at the lists/testlist/digest.mbox I can see that the messages are in >the file! The messages from Outlook too? Try moving the digest.mbox file aside.

The FAQ definitely needs updating. It's a community project. Please help. Re: step 1, the intent of that author was to check for mailmanctl only. If you're going to check for qrunners too, you need to change more than the command. BTW, I use ps -fAw | grep 'p[y]thon' or I just ignore the grep result. Step 6 is saying that it is safe to remove the lock for your problem list, but here's an alternate suggestion. Do bin/mailmanctl stop Verify mailmanctl and all runners have stopped. Remove any remaining locks/* files. then, bin/mailmanctl start This assumes no web server process has a list locked legitimately, but that's unlikely in your case. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
