[Mailman-Users] problem with mailman not working...

[Troy Campbell]

Thanks again.  Observations: Somehow the stale lock was stopping all 
emails from going out
and secondly, /var/lock/mailman is where the lock was.  I'm not sure how 
I happened to figure
that lock location out as it isn't ~mailman/locks.  Perhaps my config is 
non-standard.
