I'm running mailman-2.1.3 with postfix-2.0.16,1 on FreeBSD 4.9.
Mailman was installed a few months ago. A few days ago, mail stopped
being delivered. Viewing /var/log/maillog, I can see the mail is
coming in, but never being delivered.
In mailman/log/errors, I see this.
Feb 02 16:19:01 2004 (33670) uncaught archiver exception at filepos: 0 Feb 02 16:19:01 2004 (33670) Uncaught runner exception: Empty module name Feb 02 16:19:01 2004 (33670) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 110, in _oneloop self._onefile(msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 160, in _onefile keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/ArchRunner.py", line 73, in _dispose mlist.ArchiveMail(msg) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 208, in ArchiveMail h.processUnixMailbox(f) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py", line 544, in processUnixMailbox m = mbox.next() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/mailbox.py", line 35, in next return self.factory(_Subfile(self.fp, start, stop)) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Mailbox.py", line 89, in scrubber return mailbox.scrub(msg) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Mailbox.py", line 109, in scrub return self._scrubber(self._mlist, msg) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py", line 311, in process t = t.encode(charset, 'replace') File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/encodings/__init__.py", line 84, in search_function globals(), locals(), _import_tail) ValueError: Empty module name
From the archives, I see this is not a new problem, and found a patch at http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman- developers@python.org/msg06317.html.
I applied the patch and recompiled:
cd /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers python -c "import py_compile as p; p.compile('Scrubber.py')"
I then ran unshunt and saw the errors continue. FWIW, I also retstarted the qrunners and tried again. Same symptoms.
This problem has been raised before and seem to becoming more common. I found these recent references:

Any suggestions please?
