Hello,

It is quite often that the system load on a machine goes up so sendmail rejects connections.... so when run_queue runs, there are quite a few messages rejected in one process, meaning lots of logs... and then I get messages like this:

Logging error: <StampedLogger to '/var/lib/mailman/logs/error'> Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Logging/Logger.py", line 55, in __get_f IOError: [Errno 24] Too many open files: '/var/lib/mailman/logs/error' Original log message: [Errno 24] Too many open files: '/var/lib/mailman/logs/error' Feb 10 13:44:59 2000 processQueue: Processing of queue file /var/lib/mailman/data/mm_q.28769.1 failed: Feb 10 13:44:59 2000 processQueue: exceptions.IOError / [Errno 24] Too many open files: '/var/lib/mailman/data/mm_q.28769.1' Logging error: <StampedLogger to '/var/lib/mailman/logs/error'> Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Logging/Logger.py", line 55, in __get_f IOError: [Errno 24] Too many open files: '/var/lib/mailman/logs/error' Original log message: [Errno 24] Too many open files: '/var/lib/mailman/logs/error' Feb 10 13:45:00 2000 processQueue: Processing of queue file /var/lib/mailman/data/mm_q.29101.1 failed: Feb 10 13:45:00 2000 processQueue: exceptions.IOError / [Errno 24] Too many open files: '/var/lib/mailman/data/mm_q.29101.1'

It seems that for each log entry run_queue opens the logfile, and then doesn't close it. Is there a quick fix for this somewhere ? I'm running mailman 1.1
