[Mailman-Users] Mailing list not working

[Abigail Marshall]

Hi,
my mailing list simply quit working. I don't know why.

The error logs show this series of entries for all messages sent.

> Oct 14 19:46:01 2001 (45918) Delivery exception:
> Oct 14 19:46:01 2001 (45918) Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py", line 82, in do_pipeline
>     func(mlist, msg, msgdata)
>   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py", line 121, in process
>     inject_digest(mlist, digestfile, topicsfile)
>   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py", line 166, in inject_digest

> MemoryError:

The file called "digest" in the logs directory shows entries like
this:
> Oct 14 19:51:01 2001 (46261) Fac v 31 - 10768 msgs, 1 recips (0 mime, 1 text, 0 disabled)
> Oct 14 19:51:01 2001 (46261) Fac v 31 - 10769 msgs, 1 recips (0 mime, 1 text, 0 disabled)
> Oct 14 19:51:01 2001 (46261) Fac v 31 - 10770 msgs, 1 recips (0 mime, 1 text, 0 disabled)

These files are growing constantly. The "error" file is already more
than 5 megs.  The first entry in the error file, from Oct 6, is:

> ' (0xd)20:21:02 2001 (95844) Delivery exception: unsupported format character '

I'm running mailman 2.03 on a Free BSD server.

Please help.
