Hello,
For several weeks my mailman instance sometimes just stops delivering messages. Restarting Mailman seems to fix it and messages that were in the queue do get sent eventually.
Today I got a hint as to what might be happening ...
As Mailman seemed to be stuck again, I ran "mailmanctl stop" and watched all the log files.
When I ran "mailmanctl stop", the following line suddenly appeared in the "smtp" log file:
Apr 24 07:39:11 2005 (26501) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> smtp for 155 recips, completed in 159722.267 seconds
Wow ! So it seems that Mailman was stuck (for more than 40 hours) while trying to send this message and that stopping it made it stop trying to send this message and move on to the next ones (after I restarted it).
I also saw a lot of these appear in smtp-failure:
smtp-failure:Apr 24 07:39:11 2005 (26501) delivery to <removed-email-address> failed with code -1: please run connect() first
Does anyone have any idea as to why Mailman gets stuck trying to send a message sometimes ? If a resource (DNS, remote mail server, ...) is unavailable, shouldn't it timeout after a while ?
I'm currently running version 2.1.4. Could this be fixed by upgrading to the latest version ?
Thanks,
Remi. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
