[Mailman-Users] bounce runner day of year out of range error

[Heather Madrone]

Hello.

I'm running Mailman 2.1.5 on Mac OSX 10.2.8 using Python 2.4 and exim
4.42.  I have the bounce threshold set to 3.0, but Mailman only rarely manages
to disable accounts that have been bouncing solidly for weeks.

Before I set up Mailman on my own server, I was running it through an ISP.
During the several years I ran Mailman on that site, I only had a handful of
bouncers disabled.  I thought that was suspicious at the time, but it wasn't my
server, and so I couldn't get in under the hood.

I've been watching the exim traffic.  About 20 addresses have been failing
solidly for the past 3 weeks, but Mailman has only disabled 8 of them.  Every
few days, I get the following message:

	Traceback (most recent call last):
	  File "/Applications/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 270, in ?
	    main()
 	 File "/Applications/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 230, in main
 	   qrunner.run()
	  File "/Applications/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 87, in run
 	   self._cleanup()
 	 File "/Applications/mailman/Mailman/Queue/BounceRunner.py", line 220, in _cleanup
	    BounceMixin._cleanup(self)
	  File "/Applications/mailman/Mailman/Queue/BounceRunner.py", line 132, in _cleanup
 	   self._register_bounces()
	  File "/Applications/mailman/Mailman/Queue/BounceRunner.py", line 120, in _register_bounces
	    mlist.registerBounce(addr, msg, day=day)
	  File "/Applications/mailman/Mailman/Bouncer.py", line 131, in registerBounce
	    time.strftime('%d-%b-%Y', day + (0,)*6))
	ValueError: day of year out of range

Auditing the bounce log, I can see that this error causes the bounce score of bouncers
to be reset.

Has anyone seen anything like this?  I've checked the FAQ and the sourceforge bug
page, and even gone Googling looking for this problem.  So far, I've turned up nothing.
