[Mailman-Users] Mailman/Sendmail not accepting email's

[Llewellyn Curran]

Hi All,

I've recently started assisting a friend with a mailman build on his Centos
5.5 box. I followed:
http://davmp.kimanddave.com/2008/03/30/installing-mailman-to-use-https-on-centos-51/but
now im stuck I added my mail address, got the confirmation, went to
the
site, signed up and all that. I have to stay with sendmail due to my friends
configuration at the moment. So I attempt to send my first mail, no joy, and
I go to analyze my /var/log/maillog theres nothing there, so I login to
telnet, and im able to send mail. So I throw TCPDump up using : tcpdump
smtp, and send another mail from gmail. I see Gmail's mail server send the
mail to the box, and then basically it disappears from there, no logs or
anything? I've done around 8 hours of googling, and I still can't figure it
out? Anyone?

Kind Regards,

[Mailman-Users] Follow up to a Lock problem.

[Llewellyn Curran]

Hi All,

I've summarized my issue below, and I would like to say I have around 215K
subscribers on a Dedicated Server With a Quad Xeon CPU and 4GB's Ram. Most
notably Mailman chews up around 2GB's+ of Ram but completely max's my CPU
usage in top on CentOS. Python runs about 98% to 100% - I suspect this is
from a mail drop going on however it doesn't explain below. Please read on.

Mailman Version: 2.1.9

Symptoms:
I had an issue a month or so ago where my web interface on 
http://mysite.com/mailman/admin/mylist; would lock up on login, and I
couldnt access that list. The other lists I could access no problems. I was
guided to  the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/noA9 by Mark S. and that
temporarily relieved the problem. I find now that I have to completely
delete my locks everytime I want to go to a new location in the admin
interface. I have included some errors from the locks log below. Can you
assist me?
