Mailman's 'smtp' log is with Mailman's other logs in /var/log/mailman/, but this is not the issue if you have no files in the out/ queue. The large number of files in the in/ and archive/ queues indicates you have a mail loop of some sort or you are the victim of a DOS attack. Stop Mailman. Move those queues aside in their entirety (e.g. mv /var/spool/mailman/in somewhere/else), and examine the messages with bin/show_qfiles. See if more /var/spool/mailman/in/ message files are created with Mailman stopped (new posts will create them even with Mailman stopped) Once you figure out what's going on, start Mailman. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
