There was indeed a very large digest.mbox for one of the lists (not for the
one we've been having issues with, though), so I removed the digest.mbox
(that list is set up to be used as a departmental email address, so there
are only 2 recipients on the list and they weren't digesting anyway), and
that removed the MemoryErrors I've been seeing. BTW, I should mention that
my version of Mailman is 2.1.5
However, now I'm getting different errors. When I restarted Mailman after
removing the digest.mbox file, the errors were:
Jun 20 05:36:40 2007 (28020) Cannot connect to SMTP server localhost on port
smtp
Jun 20 06:00:13 2007 (20879) Cannot connect to SMTP server localhost on port
smtp
Jun 20 08:02:55 2007 (23371) Cannot connect to SMTP server localhost on port
smtp
Each instance above is after a restart of the Mailman service.
The server admins checked smtp on the box, did somethings that they didn't
share with me, and now, I'm getting:
Jun 20 09:17:20 2007 (31631) Uncaught runner exception: SMTP instance has no

At this point, I now have 1500+ emails in the outgoing queue, which won't go
anywhere. I've done more checking online and found several things to try,
including testing Python's smtp connection, and changed the SMTPHOST from
'localhost' to the actual IP of the box in mm_cfg.py, just in case, with no
change.
My mailman/smtp log shows some messages going through:

But my post log shows failures:

And not that many attempts, based on the number of messages waiting in the
outgoing queue.
The smtp-failure log doesn't show anything useful that I can see:

At this point, I'm at a loss. I've gone through the steps outline in the FAQ
entry "4.78. Troubleshooting: No mail going out to lists members", and all
seems well there. Only other thing I can think of is that under my
/var/mailman/locks directory, I have the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] locks]# ls -al
total 8
drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Jun 20 13:30 .
drwxrwsr-x 21 root mailman 4096 Jun 19 20:02 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 2 mailman mailman 53 Jun 21 2007 master-qrunner
-rw-rw-r-- 2 mailman mailman 53 Jun 21 2007
master-qrunner.mail1.usm.edu.28475
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 53 Jan 18 2006
master-qrunner.mail.usm.edu.1757.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] locks]#
I don't know if these are required or if I should delete them, or if they
even have anything whatsoever to do with the issue at hand. I did find it
odd that two of them seem to be dated as June 21, 2007, which is tomorrow
(assuming I read that correctly), although a check of the "date" command on
the server shows the correct date and time.
Once again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
