[Mailman-Users] Not to bug everyone, but...

[Adam]

I tried posting last week, but never got a reply. Can someone point out
to me why i'm getting these errors on a RedHat linux box (v5.1)?

I'm getting these errors in /var/log/cron from mailman. Can anyone tell
me what this is all about, and how to fix it? I know that the cron
daemon is being asked to run this via mailman, but is this just a
permissions issue, or possibly a bad install? I'll also attach an
emailed error that I used to get, but no longer get anymore for some
reason...

This is a copy of one of the emails I used to get:

Traceback (innermost last):

  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/OutgoingQueue.py", line 86, in

  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/flock.py", line 119, in lock
    os.link(self.lockfile, self.tmpfname)

Thanx in advance,
