We've been trying to figure out what causes the flow of mail to stop, but so far I've not found the cause at least. Others have been looking at it too without success. jrb said he'd look at it today though. What happens is that messages take longer and longer to be delivered until it finally just stops sending out list mail. Bugzilla mail seems to be unaffected and that gives a clue since we've bypassed virus checking and spamassassin for bugmail IIRC. So in effect someone has to babysit the services and restart mailman/postfix every now and then. > * Why have we lost the mailing list archives The mailman install was updated and the new package has the archives in a different place than the old one it seems.

As I said, the data is still there, we just need to do some manual surgery to merge the old archives with what has accumulated since the upgrade.

I hope this helps alleviate the need for information some.
