Hi,
today we successfully upgraded our installation from 2.1.14 to 2.1.15.
Thanks for that! I have to admit that Mailman generally works so flawlessly
that I usually don't look at its logs. Because of the update, today I did.
And I noticed a pattern that I don't understand. It's not new, but I only
noticed it today. I've searched the list archives, but didn't find anything
appropriate.
Every day, we get several of these entries in the error log:
2.1.14:

The messages are preserved in the "bad" directory, which is culled
regularly using cull_bad_shunt. When I look at them with "dumpdb -p", I see
bounces. I understand that the "usual" reason for that is an unparseable
message, as the logging indicates, but in this case it's apparently a
failed open command.
Is that a race condition, a purely cosmetic issue, or something that should
be fixed?
Thanks, Sebastian
