I'm not sure what exactly is the problem, however Mailman is sending duplicates up to 12x for a client of ours. I reviewed the dmesg.today log file and notice it ran out SWAP space. The machine is a PIII 850 with 128 MB RAM and 512 of SWAP space.
There are two lists that are blasted out. . . one list that's 72,500 subscribers and another list of 37,300 subscribers. The problem usually occurs when the 72,500 subscribers are blasted out. We did not have this problem when the client started with 50K subscribers and the previous administrator tweaked Sendmail and Mailman. I would think Mailman working as a robust list server should have mechanisms to prevent duplicate emails. Reviewing the ps -auxww when the SWAP space ran out, it looked like a few Mailman processes was sucking up all the memory. Any ideas to fix tihs issue? Is memory the problem? I was thinking of slapping in more memory into the machine. Regards, Jonathan Chum Systems Developer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A I S M e d i a , I n c .
