After a while your partition /var (if setup independant) becomes too small to handle all the messages archives. The only thing you have to do is the contact the system administrator of the server that handles your lists and ask him/her to increase the /var partition size. off-topic : that's not that easy as I would need to do it on one server ...

The entry in qfiles/bad is something else. It is either an unparseable message (likely spam) or a message that was supposed to be shunted but for which shunting failed for some reason. You may be able to see the message content with either bin/show_qfiles or bin/dumpdb pointed at the file. In any case, there should be an entry in Mailman's error log with timestamp Feb 8 17:00:01 or possibly 2010-02-09 12:00 and saying either Skipping and preserving unparseable message: 1265677201.538301+ff2998155195d0f6d06604e6ba8ccfff2cf2 or SHUNTING FAILED, preserving original entry: 1265677201.538301+ff2998155195d0f6d06604e6ba8ccfff2cf2. In the latter case, this may be preceded by another exception and traceback, but it is more likely the former. This message is no longer being processed by Mailman and can be rm'd if you wish, although if the cull_bad_shunt cron job is running, the file should be automatically removed the first time cull_bad_shunt runs after it is 7 days old. The messages in qfiles/retry can also just be rm'd. You can see the undelivered recipients (probably just the one bad one) by running bin/dumpdb against the files. If the message still has valid recipients, as well as the invalid one(s), see http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/remove_recips. Thanks Mark for your time ! I have just removed the retry/*.pck files and all is OK (no more errors from Postfix).
