[Mailman-Users] mailman 2.0.8 problems

[Thomas Hillson]

I have two problems happening right now with MailMan 2.0.8

The first involves qrunner, what happens is that a list gets locked 
and no mail will go through it. This is what is shown in the log. The 
lock is created in the locks directory, the qrunner process is no 
longer running and the message is not sent. If I delete the lock 
files and the waiting message files the list works again. Is there 
someway I can get the messages sent without having to have to user 
resend them? Can the qrunner be started to send out the qfiles?

file or directory


The second error just started, on a couple of my lists when the web 
subscription interface is used by a user or admin user and error 
message is given, but the user is subscribed, however no confirming 
email is sent to the admin or the user. Any ideas on what is 
happening here. None of these lists are archived, so I am not sure 
why it is giving these archive errors. I checked the preferences on 
them all to make sure of no archiving.

Any ideas on what is happening and how I can fix it.
