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 ?
BAsically with *any* mailing list software it needs to be configured to just take the mail from the mailing list app, and ask questions later. Same rule goes for LSoft ListServ, majordomo, etc. The problem you're running into could be almost anything but i'd bet it has something to do with bad addresses in the mailing list rather than your mailman version. Find out what the address is, go to the list admin interface and using your site pass logging and unsubscribe the junk address.
Thanks for the insight Michael... If a junk address is indeed all it takes to cause Mailman to hang then it's quite disapointing ...
How would I go about finding that junk address (there are more than 200 in that list) ? Isn't it true that all addresses must have been valid at some point ? (otherwise people wouldn't have been able to confirm their subscription). That makes it hard to see which ones are junk ...
Thanks,
