Actually, this note really applies to just restarting mailman a Mailman 2.1.9 installation, with or without upgrading to Mailman 2.1.10. But in installations that just 'run' without intervention, this restart may not occur until an upgrade.
There is an error in Mailman 2.1.9. In the introduction of the backup and recovery of queue entries, we neglected to remove the backup queue entry for an unparseable message. Thus, if you sometimes receive unparseable messages which are ignored, you may have an accumulation of .bak files in qfiles/in from these messages. When you restart Mailman, these will all be reprocessed, resulting in a flood of error log entries.
There is no real harm done, but it would be a good idea when upgrading to stop Mailman and remove any qfiles/in/*.bak files.

Just a thought, Mark, for consideration...
If this is deemed "Important" (for anyone upgrading over the next year or more), and if this cleaning process is well-defined and capable of mechanisation, then might it be worth superseding 2.1.10 with a "2.1.10a" (or 2.1.11 or whatever nomeclature is appropriate) that automatically does this cleaning?
(I realise that 2.1.x was intended to be frozen at 2.1.10, but wasn't there allowance for significant security fixes and bug fixes?)
(Only sending this to -developers list.)

+1 on the auto-delete. I have a lot of boxes running Mailman that I periodically have to go into to clean out stuff, and having more junk pile up, while helpful for debugging, isn't great for production.

I think this is a good idea. If I had remembered about the unparseable .bak files, and thought it through, I could have added code to bin/update to remove them, and I still can for a fix-up release.
Also, In another thread, Barry asked for feedback on "some kind of shunt queue culler cron script". I think this is a good idea, either for a separate cron, or incorporated into one of the existing crons.
How about something like a couple of Default config settings like
BAD_SHUNT_ARCHIVE_DIRECTORY = None BAD_SHUNT_STALE_AFTER = days(7)
With the idea being anything in the 'bad' or 'shunt' queues older than BAD_SHUNT_STALE_AFTER would be discarded or moved to BAD_SHUNT_ARCHIVE_DIRECTORY if it existed.
Do people like this idea?

I have implemented a cull_bad_shunt cron and a small change to bin/update to remove any .bak files from qfiles/ on an upgrade.
These changes are revisions 1074 and 1075 in the branch at <https://code.launchpad.net/~msapiro/mailman/cull_bad_shunt>.
Revision 1071 is the 2.1.10 release. Revisions 1072 and 1073 have been committed to the 2.1 branch and a patch for these changes is on the sourceforge and GNU download sites.
I would appreciate feedback on the 1074 and 1075 revisions from those interested.

Yes, that's clearly better. It always helps to have someone else review stuff. Thanks.
BTW, the above stuff all comes from changes I made on the 2.1 branch at revs 1072 and 1074. Did anyone look at the cull_bad_shunt cron and bin/update change at revs 1074 and 1075 of <https://code.launchpad.net/~msapiro/mailman/cull_bad_shunt>?

There looks to be something very strange going on with this branch.

I have a directory, MM_bzr, on my local workstation that has been 'bzr init'd and has subdirectories 2.1, 2.2, 3.0 and admin which initially were populated via 'bzr co' from launchpad. Everything has subsequently been upgraded with 'bzr upgrade --pack-0.92'. Local bzr is 1.2.0.
I created MM_bzr/cull_bad_shunt locally with bzr branch from MM_bzr/2.1 at rev 1074. I then committed revs 1074 and 1075. I created the cull_bad_shunt branch on launchpad and then 'bzr push'd my local branch.

What happens if you
bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~msapiro/mailman/cull_bad_shunt
?
When I do this, either in my shared repository or in a fresh
directory. I get only 2 revisions.
Both of the above bzr diff commands work in my local branch.
What about in a pristine branch?

Does it? It looks weird to me. For example, why all the renamed

I'm doing this now in a new directory. I'll post the result after it completes.

Yes, that is strange, but that is in my local rev 1074 too. I didn't understand it, but it seemed harmless at the time.

It says it branched 2 revisions, but 'bzr diff -r 1073..1075' and 'bzr diff -r 1..-1' produce what seems to be the expected output - at least the 1073..1075 diff is correct and the 1..-1 diff produces the same 540077 lines as the one in the original MM_bzr/cull_bad_shunt directory.
