Hi all,
I am running majordomo1.62 on our site. Last week
I had problems which were beyond me at that point to solve.
I posted for some help but seems like none of you have seen that
problem. Here is the problem,
1. I get the following error when somebody tried to
subscribe to the list,
MAJORDOMO ABORT
Can't append to /usr/local/majordomo/LISTS/shrlist: Interrupted system
call
Any ideas on this. Infact this is working NOW again fine without any
changes what so ever to majordomo. This leads me to think,
that there could have been some of the following problems,
a. Since this list was new and opened to everybody, suddenly
there were lots of users trying to subscribe. After allowing some of the them
to
subscribe, majordomo failed on some concurrent processing ( I think the locking
failed for some reason, IF I am right). There were atleast 50 users rejected
with
this problem and I got 50+ mails from majordomo complaining the problem.
b. There could have been some disk problems at that time but the
system log messages do not indicate anything about it, or any errors what so
ever.
****************************************************************
2. This is a question which is totally unrelated to the above one,
Is it possible in majordomo 1.62 to reject mail from other domains. This will
help because the lists can be maintained with security and some of the users
will not have concerns about it. I keep hearing about "munge domain" , I
believe
this is the feature in majordomo1.93. I am not clear on what it is. Can
somebody
explain me about this.
Thanks in advance
Anant
