[Mailman-Users] mailman stop sending mails to the list

[Luis Bermudez]

Mark,

I deleted the file with the problem and the message.

Then I stopped and started mailman using  mailmanctl. Stop and  
restart the service from server admin (to be sure )  and now the  
lists are working  fine.

Some questions:

  - How does the file got corrupt it - Is there something else I have  
to check (upgrade etc..)  for this not to happen again ?
  - If mailman stops sending emails but restarting the service solves  
the problem what is it happening - what should I check the next time  
this happens.

Thank you very much.

Luis
