[TriLUG] Peculiar mailman problem

[Jeremy Portzer]

Check to see if there are any files in the list's "shunt" directory. You 
may have to use the bin/unshunt to put them back in the queue.  If they 
just get shunted again then you will have to delete them.

Also, see if there is a message stuck in the queue otherwise.  I've seen a 
case whereby a message doesn't get shunted when it should, and it crashed 
the qrunner.  Oddly enough, that message actually contained some exploit 
code for a Sparc Linux distribution, and we didn't really want it sent out 
to the list in question anyway, so it was good news that it caught our 
attention!  :-)
