[Mailman-Users] No Resend after receiving after months of working flawlessly

[Sacha Ligthert]

Hi List,

After months of flawless work somehow Mailman refuses to work.
It accepts messges and puts them in ~mailman/qfiles/, but resending the
files isn't doing its job. It isn't his job at all.

This I noticed this afternoon when I tried to send a mail to a list. This
is the mail I received as root of the host:

Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 15:14:55 +0200 (CEST)
From: root (Cron Daemon)
To: mailman
Subject: Cron <mailman at teksec> /usr/local/bin/python -S
/home/mailman/cron/qrunner

Memory fault (core dumped)


The maillog had the following entry:

Oct 17 15:14:54 teksec sendmail[32236]: f9HDET032236: collect: premature

The mailman error log reports the following:

This was I believe originally caused when someone mailed a "big"
PowerPoint Presentation as an attacment (What haven't failed us in the
past). This was presumebly the fuse what caused mailman
to bomb out =(

Currently I'm running OpenBSD 2.9 on the host:
uname -a
OpenBSD teksec 2.9 GENERIC#653 i386

Mailman is compiled from hand, not from the ports.

Has anyone here ever encountered this problem before?
I checked random archive entries by month resulting into nothing

Could anybody help me out here?

Thanks in advance,
