hi there; we've been using mailman internally for some time without much problems, and have now deployed it for a big customer of ours. the first time the customer used the system, mails were sent out flawlessly. but..
the second time (last week) the mail to the main mailing list (with approx. 7000 subscribed recipients) was sent out 3 times (although the administrator claims to have only submitted the mail once, which is apperantly confirmed by info in the log-files). moreover, 135 users received from 400 up to 1400 messages (mostly blanks!). the mails to other mailing lists (on the same server, same mailman, same sendmail) were sent out without any problems.
our setup: red hat linux 7.0 sendmail 8.11.0/8.9.3 mailman 2.0.0 (configured to use sendmail)
log-file-stuff:
in the post mailman-logfile we see a lot of post-entries, some with failure (whereas we only see one per mailing list in previous, successful run
in the error mailman-logfile we see stuff like:

- and in the qrunner mailman-logfile we see a lot of these: Jul 26 08:40:02 2001 (6619) Could not acquire qrunner lock Jul 26 08:41:02 2001 (6627) Could not acquire qrunner lock
does anyone have any idea at all what might have gone wrong? has anyone experienced anything like this as well? (i could only find 1 simular entry in the sourceforge-bugtrack-database, and it was for a 2.0 beta-version, the related bug is said to be fixed in the final release.)
thanks for any input!
