The files /var/spool/mailman/bounces/*.pck are individual messages delivered to list-boun...@... and waiting to be processed by BounceRunner. If these files are there for more than a few seconds, BounceRunner is not running. The files /var/lib/mailman/data/bounce-events####.pck are a secondary queue. When bounces from the /var/spool/mailman/bounces/ queue are processed by Mailman, they are queued in a secondary queue which is processed only once every 15 minutes. /var/lib/mailman/data/bounce-events####.pck is that queue. #### is the PID of the process that owns it. If #### is not the PID of a currently running BounceRunner or OutgoingRunner process, that file is dead and can be removed as the bounces therein are already lost. >and what happens if I deleted these files from both directories? and is it ok >to do that ? Do not delete any /var/spool/mailman/bounces/*.pck files. Instead, look in Mailman's qrunner and error logs and find out why BounceRunner is dying. Fix the problem and restart Mailman. You can delete any /var/lib/mailman/data/bounce-events####.pck files for non-current PIDs. Actually, you can delete all the files and the only thing that will happen is the bounces therein will not be recorded, but this won't solve the ongoing problem. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
