[Mailman-Users] Mailing issue

[Dustin Reiner]

The problem was actually explained by looking in the qrunner log.  It had
error "Could not acquire qrunner lock".  I removed the stale locks in the
locks directory, and it started sending out the backlogged mail.

Thanks for the help.
Dustin

    Make sure Mailman is not running into an error with your lists and
locking
up.  Check your ~mailman/logs/error file for any signs of trouble.
