[Mailman-Users] sgsave = cPickle.dumps(_msg, 1): MemoryError: out of memory

[Steve Mertz]

When trying to send a large message (5M or larger) to a Mailman list, it
seems to puke due to lack of memory:


marcos:mailman {106} 
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 270, in ? main()
File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 230, in main qrunner.run()
File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 59, in run
filecnt = self._oneloop()
File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 111, in _oneloop
self._shunt.enqueue(msg, msgdata)
File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Switchboard.py", line 91, in
enqueue 
msgsave = cPickle.dumps(_msg, 1)
MemoryError: out of memory 

I am running on OpenBSD 3.1, with 512M ram.  Mailman 2.1.1.

Running the mailman account with csh and here are the limits:
marcos:mailman {102} limit
cputime         unlimited
filesize        unlimited
datasize        65536 kbytes
stacksize       4096 kbytes
coredumpsize    unlimited
memoryuse       481368 kbytes
memorylocked    160456 kbytes
maxproc         128 
openfiles       64 


Anyone have any ideas?
