Thank-you. I received the file off-list. The newer Switchboard.py works a treat, and with a 2.3MB attachment got the following result (good) Feb 07 12:27:41 2008 qrunner(36243): Traceback (most recent call last): Feb 07 12:27:41 2008 qrunner(36243): File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 278, in <module> Feb 07 12:27:41 2008 qrunner(36243): main() Feb 07 12:27:41 2008 qrunner(36243): File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 238, in main Feb 07 12:27:41 2008 qrunner(36243): qrunner.run() Feb 07 12:27:41 2008 qrunner(36243): File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 71, in run Feb 07 12:27:41 2008 qrunner(36243): filecnt = self._oneloop() Feb 07 12:27:41 2008 qrunner(36243): File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 100, in _oneloop Feb 07 12:27:41 2008 qrunner(36243): msg, msgdata = self._switchboard.dequeue(filebase) Feb 07 12:27:41 2008 qrunner(36243): File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Switchboard.py", line 160, in dequeue Feb 07 12:27:41 2008 qrunner(36243): msg = cPickle.load(fp) Feb 07 12:27:41 2008 qrunner(36243): MemoryError Feb 07 12:27:41 2008 (36976) Unpickling .bak exception: preserving file: 1202354860.860585+e4058698929b53b32944a60dbc3b8bad171e3028 > I am sorry for your difficulties, but I really appreciate your help in > getting the Mailman side of this fixed. No problem. Certainly these fixes, while not a complete solution for me, have mitigated the pain somewhat. Also I have now installed the daily script that was mentioned in the list a few days ago, to receive a report about the status of Mailman/errors/number of sent messages etc and this will be helpful too. > Ultimately, you will need to fix the underlying issue.

At the moment it is a case of trying one thing at a time. Thanks again for your prompt help and excellent program!
