When Mailman encounters an unanticipated exception in handling a message, it logs the error and puts the message aside in the shunt queue. After the underlying cause is addressed, it may be appropriate to run bin/unshunt to reprocess the messages, but not before the underlying problem is addressed and fixed and maybe not at all. >here is a snippet of the file namesin qufiles/shunt > >1160196209.4276011+2cb7b1389cc59eb383e0a179f1b59eed1b376aa5.pck >1160196209.4734559+63faff22811443c4c89098dd10ce9417852920e3.pck >1160196209.5072241+8105afad74a5cdbaac7821626a483cc674b0c9ad.pck >1160196209.5556359+bd6f797928d52cc8b9f899655a246c819334adae.pck >1160196209.590873+2a5f1aa36e17e8a79dc08ef16d37118ff6c57ecb.pck >1160196209.6326721+af3f4018e49a1aa658dd00ab9647f740e1bfa5ef.pck >1160196209.6745429+7b4a363c5d6b3424f8a354cb96ee264e0140ad33.pck >1160196209.716466+e9179b50c745d1dd1568c6cf975e87d9db67fe15.pck >1160196209.771184+a3664c9dd86d55f567e79a8b61d83ddc7563f3db.pck >1160196209.8121741+b8f598a5f14355e5acba3f962bb3f4d4ce8b2883.pck >1160196209.8540821+dd989c817f5b59f1eadc8545012d0793f54c4b74.pck >1160196209.89591+a031c30d55c9ef0922bdd64a0a02cd37bbb21a24.pck >1160196209.946244+3655a069af376348d0051aac1171ce9c7cdebf38.pck >1160196209.979713+53463a27f773583ad8151955523618248804031d.pck >1160196210.0325711+98d2a68cfa8244cb7ff465f0538d4f95d3d97b0d.pck >1160196210.0694251+c5a913922860b2bb9ca7700b261dea17e3cc2c14.pck Is this the beginning or the end? The nnn.nnn at the beginning of the name is a time stamp - floating point seconds since the start of the epoch. The above range from 'Fri Oct 6 21:43:29 2006' to 'Fri Oct 6 21:43:30 2006'. There should be an entry in Mailman's error log for each one of those with a full traceback and ending with a line SHUNTING: filebase Where filebase is the filename as above without the .pck extension. What do the tracebacks and errors say? Also, you can probably examine those files with bin/show_qfiles or bin/dumpdb and see if the message might indicate some kind of loop. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
