There is probably a stale lock for the list. Look in Mailman's locks/ directory for stale locks. A lock is two files, one named <listname>.lock and one named <listname>.lock.<hostname>.<pid>.<sequence>. If you find old locks for the mailman list, especially with a non-existant pid, just delete them. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
