Hello to all,
We running Mailman 1.0 using sendmail on SuSe 6.0 with 1200 users in one mailinglist. On every 1th of a month I see the same trouble:
mailman/logs/smtp-failures says: Oct 01 05:00:19 1999 TrySMTPDelivery: To xxx@fh-wolfenbuettel.de: Oct 01 05:00:19 1999 TrySMTPDelivery: Mailman.pythonlib.smtplib.SMTPServerDisconnected / Connecti ......eight error messages like above...
