Archives for a single list mysteriously stopped
I have a list which is still passing messages correctly (the list is
moderated) but messages are not appearing in the archives since March
19, 2008. And, no, I don't think I changed anything on that day. :-)
A simple "check_perms" reports no issues at all, and archives for
other lists are functioning correctly. I can view the archives of the
list I'm having problems with -- so I don't think it's an Apache
problem -- but messages sent to the list since March 19 don't appear
in the archive. FWIW, here is the size of the archive:
[root@list private]# du -ksh ams-* 18M ams-announce 4.2M ams-announce.mbox
Here are the archive settings for the list:
# List traffic archival policies. archive = 1 # Is archive file source for public or private archival? archive_private = 0 # How often should a new archive volume be started? archive_volume_frequency = 1
I just ran a "arch --wipe ams-announce", and that seems to have fixed
the problem as a test message I sent this morning now appears in the
archives; as does other mail that was sent after March 19th and before
today. Just out of interest, what kind of things could stop an archive
from suddenly stopping? Bad HTML/MIME in a message?
Thanks,
Chris
