Hello, I've been running a mailman list (for broadcast only) lately, and recently had a post that jammed up the system. Mailman would respond to other list requests, but the admin pages for the list in question would not appear, and the list itself was unresponsive. This is the error message that I see throughout the error log:
Jun 12 20:15:28 2006 qrunner(8679): libkrb5.so.3: cannot open shared object file: Too many open files in system Jun 12 20:15:31 2006 qrunner(8769): Traceback (most recent call last): Jun 12 20:15:31 2006 qrunner(8769): File "/var/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 270, in ?

I recently turned on footer customization to allow user-specific unsubscribe instructions at the bottom. It seems like I should either: 1. increase max-open-file limit on system or 2. turn off footer customization (if this would, in fact, solve the problem) Any help or advice much appreciated.
