[Mailman-Users] Weird lock error

[William R. Dickson]

At least, it looks weird to me.  No lockfiles are present.  I once had 
something like this happen with a corrupt .msg file, but I tried 
removing all files from the qfiles directory, and the problem recurs 
with all new mail.

This began after moving the lists to a new server, running FreeBSD 4.8 
rather than 4.4, and Python 2.2.2.  I have multiple Mailman 
installations so I can handle virtual domains (one installation per 
domain, allows me to have both "foo at domain1.com" and 
"foo at domain2.com"); I'm reluctant to upgrade to 2.1.2 until I figure 
out how the new qrunner scheme is going to work with this setup.  Only 
one of the domains seems to have this problem; the rest are working 
fine.  I've tried reinstalling mailman for this domain, removing 
lockfiles, removing queue files, removing the archives and creating a 
new directory, checked permissions on the directories.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,

-Bill
