I have no idea how far the system has gotten in processing the entire list. Is there any way to find out? (The message already appears in the archives but there is no entry in the Mailman "post" log.)
Other than what is showing up in the Mailman smtp logs and in the postfix syslog, there's no "status" tool that I know of.
My client wants me to cancel the post, but I can't find any indication of how one would go about doing that. Nothing in the "documentation," wiki, FAQ, and only one post on the subject on this list (but without an answer to the question).
It's pretty simple, actually -- stop Mailman and postfix, clean out all the affected queue messages and move them aside, then restart Mailman and postfix.
How you find out which queue messages are affected will be a bit harder, but with the "dumpdb" program for dumping Python pickles, and the "postcat" command to look at postfix messages in the queue, that shouldn't be too excessively difficult.
(Also pointing me toward any general document on the overall design and architecture of Mailman would be appreciated. The only documentation I can find is user or list-admin oriented. Not a clue about how Mailman actually gets its job done.)
I'm not sure what you're asking for. There's plenty of FAQ entries that are specific to site admins, and there's also documentation specific to site administrators. I don't know how much more "actually gets its job done" you get than that.
