I'm not sure if this is better, but if your Python is 2.4 or later, see <http://wiki.list.org/x/-IA9> for a patch that can be applied to Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py to produce copious debugging output from Python's smtplib to Mailman's error log
I put thos in place, thank you. Furthermore, I've written a small script to parse Mailman and Postfix logs once a day - the next time a recipient is omitted I will be notified. Now I have to wait...
This one did the trick. Thanks again, this was _very_ helpful.
You could also patch Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py to add
syslog.write('smtp', 'recips this chunk = %d', len(recips))Listing the number of recipients that the SMTP handler gets is a good idea, I've added that one, too.
I will report my findings the next time I run into this issue.
I have identified the source of my issues: It turned out that the Mailman installation I inherited was more heavily modified than I thought - and one of those modifications was the source of the issue I described. I decided to permanently take care of this and did a clean reinstall, followed by artitifical stress testing and as expected, the problem vanished.
I apologize for the noise my inquiry caused.
Cheers Stefan
