Bug#424620: mailman: error.log not re-opened on log rotation

reopen 424620
thanks

  Mailman does not re-open error.log when it gets SIGHUP, causing loss of
  error messages:
 
 The logrotate file erroneously sends a SIGHUP to reopen logfiles, while 
 the mailman way of doing this is to call 
 
 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl reopen
 
 I've implemented this now in the current logrotate script, but could you 
 please confirm that that works for you?

Hi Thijs,

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you! I have tried this out and
discovered that it does not work:

Looking at the source code for mailmanctl, it seems that all it does is
to send a SIGHUP to the master mailman process... so it looks like there
is something else going on here.

Please let me know if you need any more information!

BTW, would you consider fixing this in a stable update for 4.0r3--once
we discover the correct solution, of course?
