Outgoing mail from Mailman that hasn't yet been delivered to the MTA is in Mailman's out/ queue. Mail which has had some failures and is waiting to be retried is in Mailman's retry/ queue. In a default Mailman install, these are in /usr/local/mailman/qfiles/ In recent RedHat packages, the out/ and retry/ queues are in /var/spool/mailman. In other packages, they are in var-prefix. Note that there is probably one out/ queue file named *.bak (all the others are *.pck). The *.bak file is a backup of the message currently in process by OutgoingRunner. It is only used in case of a crash and changing it will normally have no effect unless you first stop Mailman. There is a script at <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/remove_recips> that can remove recipients from a queue file. Also note that if bad domains are slowing mail delivery from Mailman, your MTA is doing domain verification on recipient addresses. Search the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/Frequently+Asked+Questions> for "performance" for info on why this is not a good idea. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
