Which python process - i.e.which qrunner. Also look in Mailmans qfiles/* directories to see which one has a large number of messages. >We are running on RHEL3-32bit and the errors are, > >============ > >Error log for Mailman (vuwunicosmtp004.vuw.ac.nz:/var/log/mailman/error) > >says: > > > >RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded > > > >Feb 17 07:48:26 2010 (13368) SHUNTING: >1266281245.229378+bd3f1d42e27ad38cf532b809460a0b0a8aef00e7 > > > >The last number is a message ID in Mailman queue > >/var/mailman/qfiles/shunt/1266281245.229378+bd3f1d42e27ad38cf532b809460a0b0a8aef00e7.pck >============ How many of these are there?

My guess (and it's only that) is you may have a backlogged qfiles/out/ queue and the delay is in outgoing runner. What's in Mailman's error log? Note: In your RedHat package, Mailman's queue directory that I refer to as qfiles/ is probably actually /var/spool/mailman/ -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
