[Mailman-Users] mail not going to digest and normal users

I'm getting more and more complaints that mail isn't getting to 
people.  More and more people stop getting mail on the various lists 
I run on a box, and they check their status, and MailMan insists 
they're still subscribed.

I read through the archives, and confirmed that I was having some 
sort of locking problems.  I removed all the qrunner locks; then, 
when that still didn't work, I moved all the stuff in qfiles out to 
another directory.  Mail delivery seems to be working again, but I 
can't really tell for sure given there are 1,500 people on the list.

However, I'm still getting:

Aug 30 00:47:04 2000 (20571) -1 <email address> (ignore)
Aug 30 00:47:04 2000 (20571) -1 <email address> (ignore)
Aug 30 00:47:04 2000 (20571) -1 <email address> (ignore)


what's going?  The logs/smtp-failure file is ballooning in size rather quickly.

Also, logs/posts  shows repeated entries:

Aug 30 00:58:05 2000 (20755) post to <list name> from 
<listname>-request@<hostname>, size=31801, 176 failures

why is the list's request address sending mail to the list?  Seems 
like some kind of internal mail loop or something.  I looked over 
/etc/aliases, it seems set up properly...
