Hi Mark.
The files in qfiles/retry/ and qfiles/virgin/ are not shunted. If they
are *.pck files, they should be processed normally by RetryRunner and
VirginRunner respectively if those runners are running. If they are
*.bak files, they are 'backup' queue entries that were possibly left
behind if the runner died while processing a message. If so, they
should be reprocessed the next time the runner starts.
/qfiles/retry/ contains *.pck files.
/qfiles/virgin/ contains one *.pck.tmp file only.
Does /var/lib/mailman/bin/unshunt exist and is it executable (mode
-rwxr-xr-x)?
Yes, it exists there physically (no link or stuff) and is executable
with mode -rwxr-xr-x.
What am I doing wrong? When I try
$ /var/lib/mailman/bin/python unshunt
Do you really have a python in /var/lib/mailman/bin or did you perhaps
mean
$ python /var/lib/mailman/bin/unshunt
Yepp, of course I meant the latter. Sorry.
Unshunt will process *.bak and *.pck files in qfiles/shunt/ first
renaming the .bak files to .pck and then attempting to restore the
.pck files to their original queue. For any .pck files it can't
requeue, it should print a "Cannot unshunt message xxxxx, skipping"
message and leave that file as a .bak in the shunt/ queue.
Sorry, but it doesn't print anything and simply quits. Afterwards, all
existing .pck files in the shunt/ folder have been updated to the
current date+time. That seems to be all. :-o
You can look at these files with bin/dumpdb -p to see the message and
the metadata. Each file should contain two objects, the message and
the metadata. The metadata should have a 'whichq' attribute indicating
which queue to put it in.
I can see these data for all files, seem to be fine.
Is it possible that the messages are being unshunted and then throwing
exceptions in processing and being shunted again?
What do mailman's error and smtp-failure (for retry) logs say?

What the heck should I do? I have no idea where else I should search for
"wrong" utf8 stuff and what "Temporary local problem" means.
As always, Mark: I really appreciate your help. :-)
