Hi,
I'm quite annoyed with mailman. We got several big lists with a few hundreds users on mailman. And at the moment we got huge problems with it.

In the locks directory there is of course a qrunner and always a lock for a special mailing list. And mailman is no longer delivering mails but hanging around trying around with these.
So, first: How can I tell him to work at least on the other lists? It can't be that a problem on a single list is blocking the whole system.
Second: What can I do that such things don't happen again?? For now, we go through every mail in the "in" queue and delete SPAM (since it's almost always spam where the problem occures). And believe me, that's no fun (sooo many mails and even more spam).....
Thanks
PS: Is there any useful alternative to mailman? (majordomo doesn't count *g*) |
