[Mailman-Users] [mailman hit by a bug error in 2.0.8]

[Jon Carnes]

If I recall correctly, the next step is to look in the qfiles directory
and move any files in there into a backup directory.  Then test to see
if a new message goes through.

If that works, you can feed the waiting files back into that directory a
few at a time and let them be delivered.  At some point it will break
again and that will help you find which one was corrupted (then delete
that one - or set of files).

Again, Good Luck!
