HI Mark,
Thank you for this. We will end up deleting, since the list ownere do
not care about digests.
I didn't realize mailman-users was initially moderating (I never got a
"held for moderation" reply) - it's been a while - makes sense, though.,
Thank you for clearing that up.
Ivan.

I suspect you are moderated as a recent subscriber and the moderator
just hasn't approved the latest posts. This happens.
Have you seen the below - on the mailman-users list, or in a queue
somewhere?
No, I haven't seen it, but I can't see the messages waiting moderation.
But, see below for my response.

Apologies - this is a re-post, but I didn't see it hit the list in about 19
hours.

Subject: Very busy list says send_digests failed, Too many links
Hello,
We had a list get around 30,000 messages today. Eventually, we noticed
emails to this list were really piling up in Mailman's "in" queue, and the
error log showed a lot of:
Aug 26 13:44:22 2009 (9443) send_digests() failed: [Errno 31] Too many links:
'/mail/mailman/mailman/archives/private/list-name/attachments/20090826/9a8f3979'
I happened to get around this by setting digestable to know, but would like
to know how I should perhaps clean up after this. Most of the emails to this
list, unfortunately were the result of a run-away program sending emails. Will
the next digest cron job die on this many emails and attachments?
Yes, the next cron/senddigests will probably choke too unless you set
the list's digest_send_periodic to No.
The problem is in the list's lists/LISTNAME/digest.mbox file.
Apparently you have a very large number of messages with attachments
and with the same Message-ID:. Scrubber is calculating the directory
in which to store attachments for this message as
/mail/mailman/mailman/archives/private/list-name/attachments/20090826/9a8f3979
(the 9a8f3979 is a hash of the Message-ID:). This directory has so
many files in it that the OS will not allow any more to be created -
thus, the error 31.
You need to either edit the lists/LISTNAME/digest.mbox file and delete
all the 'bad' messages, or if you're not concerned about the digest,
just remove it. You also should remove the
archives/private/list-name/attachments/20090826/9a8f3979 directory.
That should be all the cleanup you need to do other that ensuring that
the run-away program is fixed.
