[Listwork] Mailman causing trouble

[Alster]

Hi,

one of the mailman processes, the one handling the inbound queue, kept
freezing across the past four (?) days. Mailman was logging parse errors
for various queue files (all of which were not current) so I moved these
out of the way now. So far it is processing mail again (but then it did
this after my last recovery attempts, too).
I have good hopes it will really have helped this time, though, since I
already received some test mail now which I had had sent during the past
days and which, after past recovery attempts, had not been  delivered.

By the time /this/ e-mail is delivered on the listwork mailing list this
backlog should have been processed, though. I expect this to take about
5 hours.

Let's hope this is now solved, as it's not really easy to diagnose, and
we have this somewhat outdated Mailman version installed which seems to
have a couple bugs still.

I've written up some more technical details on the sysadmin log on sarai.
