ls -lR qfiles *.pck files are queue entries waiting to be processed. *.bak files are queue entries currently being processed (at most one per queue per qrunner slice). >and b) force >qrunner to process the queue immediately? Will the "qrunner -r All" >accomplish this? That's a really bad idea. First, if you are going to do this, you would probably want "qrunner -o -r All", but even then, two bad things will happen. The new runner will 'recover' and reprocess any .bak files resulting in duplications, and race conditions between the new runner and the existing runner will cause variopus unpredictable problems, e.g. those discussed in the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/_4A9>. Unless you have set QRUNNER_SLEEP_TIME to something like 15 to 30 minutes in mm_cfg.py, the existing runners will process their queues sleeping for only 1 second when the queue is empty. You can determine to some degree where the delay(s) are from Mailman's SMTP log. Find the entry for your post. Similar to: Sep 11 11:12:02 2009 (12318) <message-id> smtp to listname for n recips, completed in t.ttt seconds The t.ttt seconds is the time the message actually spent in process in OutgoingRunner. The timestamp minus this time is the time that OutgoingRunner began processing this entry. That time minus the time you sent the post is the sum of the time to queue the post for IncomingRunner (very small), the time it spent in qfiles/in, processing time in IncomingRunner (usually small, but if you have some SpamAssassin or other custom handler in the pipeline, could be long) and the time spent in qfiles/out. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
