[Mailman-Users] Help! Mailman 2.1.2 problems - posts going out, but errors with scrubber

[Tobias Eigen]

Hello, 

First: Kudos to Mailman developers. 

Next: my problem. I upgraded to Mailman 2.1.2 two weeks ago, and it appears to 
be working perfectly, except that for some reason the last archive messages 
were written last Tuesday. Even the mbox files have no trace of the messages 
that have been going out.

Can anyone tell me what might be going on? It seems to be related to the 
scrubber and handling of digests (which are also working fine), but I'm stumped 
otherwise. Here's a related message from the error log:

I've got the scrubber disabled for archives, and am using mhonarc as external 
archiver. Mhonarc has been working great for years, and all was fine with 
archives until last Tuesday.

Any thoughts? 

Best wishes, 

Tobias
