[Mailman-Users] mailman has just stopped sending out mail to allmailing lists

[Dirk Koopman]

I have reinstalled over the top of my installation. Doing a diff -u of
the source directory after a make and /usr/local/mailman produced
nothing of interest.

The make install has a large number of "pointers differ in signedness
warnings"

I did an 'unshunt' and here are some results

Some extracts from the logs:

this is a snapshot of the last few lines. Each recipient has one of a
similar set of messages for every .pck.
