[Mailman-Users] weird problems; a cry for help

[George Dinwiddie]

I'm a mailman newbie and hardly know where to begin.  I've got a
couple of lists running at www.alberg30.org in a virtual hosting
environment where mailman is shared by all the domains hosted on
the machine.  Everything was hunky-dory until...

Well, first the ISP had some sort of crash.  Then they moved
from RedHat 6.0 to 7.0.  Somewhere along the line (maybe t
the same time) they installed a newer version (or versions)
of mailman.  I know that it was beta 6 but is now 2.0rc1.

First, I had problems with the "welcome" message being sent
with the "Reply-to" header pointing to the list, instead of
the admin address.  Then all mail stopped.  They got one
list working again, but the other, the most important one,
is really bollixed.

logs/error is filling up with:
Oct 25 18:04:00 2000 (32336) Delivery exception: __int__
Oct 25 18:04:00 2000 (32336) Traceback (innermost last):

  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py", line 279, in Present
    lines.append(self.__mlist.digest_header % self.TemplateRefs())
AttributeError: __int__

logs/digest is filling up with stuff like:
Oct 25 18:09:00 2000 (20560) Public-list v 16 - 2035 msgs, 22 recips (4 mime, 18 text, 0 disabled)

logs/qrunner has stuff like:
Oct 25 16:17:02 2000 (30248) Could not acquire qrunner lock
Oct 25 16:18:02 2000 (7653) Could not acquire qrunner lock
Oct 25 16:19:01 2000 (14921) Could not acquire qrunner lock
Oct 25 16:20:01 2000 (24286) Could not acquire qrunner lock
Oct 25 16:21:01 2000 (19783) Could not acquire qrunner lock
  but I'm not sure it's related to the stuff in logs/digest.

lists/public-list/next-digest is filling up with many copies of a few messages.  Likewise,
lists/public-list/next-digest-topics is filling up with the same 4 topics in rotation.

Any ideas on what the problem might be?  Better yet, any ideas on the fix?

Please copy me on the reply.

Thanks,
  George Dinwiddie
