Very busy list says send_digests failed, Too many links
Hello,
We had a list get around 30,000 messages today. Eventually, we noticed emails to this list were really piling up in Mailman's "in" queue, and the error log showed a lot of:
Aug 26 13:44:22 2009 (9443) send_digests() failed: [Errno 31] Too many links: '/mail/mailman/mailman/archives/private/list-name/attachments/20090826/9a8f3979'
I happened to get around this by setting digestable to know, but would like to know how I should perhaps clean up after this. Most of the emails to this list, unfortunately were the result of a run-away program sending emails. Will the next digest cron job die on this many emails and attachments?
Thanks a lot,
Ivan.
