Hi,

Trying to figure this one out.

Twice now in the past month, a mailing list has died here. You cannot login to the administrative interface and posts go into into a logjam.

From the logs I see:

[root@tx mailman]# tail error NotLockedError:

and

...any ideas? I've been able to get around it by going into /var/spool/mailman/qfiles and deleting what's in there. This "resets" things, but it also results in a few posts getting lost.

What would cause it to bail like this? Any other information you need, let me know and I'll post it.
