Mark, Thanks for the reply. I guess I forgot to mention that Barracuda is only catching the mail with the Office 2007 attachment if it was sent to a list for delivery. If I send an email directly to another person on campus, not using a list, then the message delivers fine.

The underlying problem is in your web server config. Assuming apache, you probably have something like RedirectMatch /mailman[/]*$ /mailman/listinfo This needs to be anchored as in RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ /mailman/listinfo As a workaround, you can go to http://email.marmot.org/mailman/admindb/mailman/x which will work because the 'x' doesn't match in the redirect and it is igmored by the admindb cgi. I don't recall for sure if the subsequent post will work or have the same problem. >I found the controlling file(s) in /var/mailman/lists/mailman... >leastwise the members name and address are in the request.pck file.

Yes, you can just delete request.pck (request.db is left over from pre-2.1.5 and is not used). There may also have been a pending subscription in pending.pck, but it's probably expired by now. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

OT, but... docx files are zip archives containing a number of xml files, so Barracuda is recognizing the file by its content rather than by extension. Perhaps Barracuda would be willing/able to make their appliance perform a more in depth content analysis to determine if this zip file appears to be a docx or open document or Google Earth .kmz or other known file type which is in fact a zip archive of other files, but apparently they do not currently do this. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

If there were messages in qfiles/out/, but they weren't being picked up by OutgoingRunner, OutgoingRunner was in some funny state or it may have been hung waiting for a low level SMTP response. >Simply restarting Mailman helped (why didn't I do it in the first place? >I guess I'm just not accustomed to restarting), but I'm still not sure >of the reason it stopped delivering messages. For whatever reason, OoutgongRunner wasn't doing its job. Restarting Mailman got it going again. Possibly something as simple as sending it a SIGHUP would have started it too. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
