I have mailman 2.1.9 running on Mandriva 2008.0 , Postfix (2.6.22.19-desktop-2mdv)

I have above 20 lists. All are working except one; which oldest and most active.

postfix delivers to mailman with post option.

I can't find any errors /var/log/mail and /var/log/mailman

Do you mean you can't find Mailman's log files or you can find the logs but they contain no errors?

...

There are no list specific lock files under /var/log/mailman/locks

That seems a really strange place for Mailman's locks directory.

...

Any suggestions, ideas ?

Do the messages get archived? Can you access the list's admin and admindb web interfaces?

Find Mailman's logs and locks. The locks/ directory should contain at least the master-qrunner locks "master-qrunner" and "master-qrunner.HOST.PID".

The logs directory contains several logs and "post" and "smtp" at least will have timestamps reflecting the most recent post to any list.

Thanks. My message , for some reason, was distributed, a few days later. I did delete and recreated the problematic list, and it worked.

Before that, I tried hard. But could not locate the problem. I checked /var/log/mailman, it did not help. /var/lib/mailman/locks contained only 2 lock for mailman master-qrunner. Messages was not archived. I could access admin and admindb interfaces
