Re: [Mailman-Users] problem with mailman not working...
Thanks again. Observations: Somehow the stale lock was stopping all emails from going out and secondly, /var/lock/mailman is where the lock was. I'm not sure how I happened to figure that lock location out as it isn't ~mailman/locks. Perhaps my config is non-standard.

[Mailman-Users] problem with mailman not working...
For some reason Mailman just stopped working and I must confess that I have forgot how to debug since it has run so well for the last couple of years...it appears that when a Mailman email is sent to the Mailman server it that it doesn't recognize it as local but instead tries to relay out and then the relay sends it back and this happens multilple times if I'm reading the logs right so I assume that the aliases file for the Mailman lists isn't being recognized properly by Postfix?
