Hey guys I am running MailMan version 2.1.9.cp2 on a RHEL 4 box with cPanel 11.
One of my cleints has a list with about 10,000 subscribers. It is set up as a
news list (only the owner sends mail oue to the subscribers) that gets an email
sent about 3-4 times a year. I have noticed that when the owner sends out an
email, several emaisl get 'stuck' in the mail queue with about 500 recipients
per mail. I have nothing set on the server to limit any user in the amount of
mail they can send. The mail was sent out 2 days ago and stil about 19 emails
with up to 500 recipients are in the queue. I have noticed that among the
recipients are addresses that have already received the mailing from the owner.
I guess I have a few questions...
1) Is this 'normal' activity?
2) Why does the mail stay in the queue even for recipients that have already
received the mail?
3) Is there a setting within MailMan that can control this?
4) Any suggestions based on the described activity that will help the lists
run better?
Thanks
