[Mailman-Users] Messages stuck in qfiles

[Hurley, Michael]

Hey, I found some more info on my problem, but haven't cracked the case yet:

in ~mailman/logs/error, since Aug 31 qrunner has been choking as follows:

Aug 31 16:18:01 2004 qrunner(11238): Traceback (most recent call last):
Aug 31 16:18:01 2004 qrunner(11238):   File "/usr/lib/mailman/cron/qrunner",
line 283, in ?
Aug 31 16:18:01 2004 qrunner(11238):      kids = main(lock)
Aug 31 16:18:01 2004 qrunner(11238):   File "/usr/lib/mailman/cron/qrunner",
line 253, in main
Aug 31 16:18:01 2004 qrunner(11238):      keepqueued =
dispose_message(mlist, msg, msgdata)
Aug 31 16:18:01 2004 qrunner(11238):   File "/usr/lib/mailman/cron/qrunner",
line 157, in dispose_message
Aug 31 16:18:01 2004 qrunner(11238):      mlist.ParseMailCommands(msg)
Aug 31 16:18:01 2004 qrunner(11238):   File
"/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailCommandHandler.py", line 163, in
ParseMailCommands
Aug 31 16:18:01 2004 qrunner(11238):      splitsubj = string.split(subject)
Aug 31 16:18:01 2004 qrunner(11238):   File "/usr/lib/python2.2/string.py",
line 117, in split
Aug 31 16:18:01 2004 qrunner(11238):      return s.split(sep, maxsplit)
Aug 31 16:18:01 2004 qrunner(11238): AttributeError :  'NoneType' object has
no attribute 'split' 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
