 Here's a little issue with the news gatewaying:   
 If the news server you're trying to get to is down, or is slow and having 
problems mailman creates a lock file and doesn't unlock.  The next time 
(every 5 minutes in my case) the gateway attempts to run the lock files 
are in place and it evidently fails.  Is there anything I can do to clear 
those lock files manually, or, more importantly, is there anyway that 
mailman can be configured to time out, and remove its own lockfiles/  
   
 thanks.
