This is a recent Mailman feature. In older Mailman, when a runner encountered an exception in dequeueing a message, the fact was logged and the message discarded. Now, depending on settings, it may be saved as a .psv file in qfiles/bad/ See the comments in Defaults.py for the settings QRUNNER_SAVE_BAD_MESSAGES, BAD_SHUNT_STALE_AFTER and BAD_SHUNT_ARCHIVE_DIRECTORY. With default settings, assuming you've got a 2.1.12 Mailman crontab, these files are removed after 7 days. You can look at them with bin/dumpdb -p to see what's in them assuming they can be unpickled at all. There are also messages in Mailman's error log saying why they are there. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
