Almost everything written to Mailman's error log is the result of some kind of error or exception that should not normally occur. Some of these can result from user errors such as an invalid list name in a URL to access a web admin page or an invalid private archive URL, but most indicate some kind of Mailman internal error, so yes, it is normal for this log to be empty and when it isn't, the messages should be examined to see if there is some error condition that should be attended to. Note: exim writes its own logs. It does not write to Mailman's logs. The 'error' log messages from set_debuglevel(1) are written by Python's smtplib module used by Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
