Hallo! This may not specifically be a mailman problem, but I'm noticing strange behaviour in mailmain, as well as in general on my mail server.
Background: My CentOS 4 system ran an automatic 'yum' update two days ago, and it updated many system files. I'm not an expert, but it looks like the 'kernel' and many 'lib' files were updated. The system did not 'reboot', but during this process everal daemons were automatically restarted, and my 'Mail Avenger' daemon just failed (which caused temporary delay of incoming mail). I had to restart 'asmtpd' and for good measure, restarted postfix.
Mailman seemed to 'lock up', and queued all outgoing messages until I did a restart mid-yesterday. I got another complaint today, did another restart, and once again the list messages are going out. But I have no guarantee that it won't keep repeating this behaviour. Has anyone heard or seen any explanation for behaviour like this?
It may be a postfix issue, even though postfix was *not* among the updated programs. I'm noticing that I'm seeing multiple copies of *some* messages from this list. They have the Received Lines showing they were sent multiple times by the list serve, almost as if they had 4xx errors the first time? Very strange.....
I don't really want to reboot the whole system, especially where the stability of it is in doubt. Any advice welcome (anyone know a good, active CentOS mailing list that might have an angle on this?).
