[Mailman-Users] some lists cannot receive emails after a crash(Incorrect padding)

[jay alvarez]

Good day!

We just had a hardware failure with our mailserver
running mailman+qmail, the smtpd as well as mailman
daemons died because of hard disc space lost due to
some logs overgrowned that were not rotated. The
problem has already been fixed and the qmail daemons
as well as mailman have been restarted, however, some
mailing list cannot receive emails. Looking at smtpd
logs, it seems like the client can successfully
deliver emails to the mailserver but the mailman
couldn't distribute it properly to list members.
What's more suprising is that other lists can receive
emails, but few can't.

Below is the series of mailman error logs continuesly
appearing from time to time during the normal
operation, but I don't think it has something to do
with the root of the problem. Hope you can help me..
Thanks.
