See the attached message from the bounce I got yesterday. I'm pretty sure
what the problem is, and it's caused by majordomo. I haven't checked, and
most likely won't since I don't want to experiment with majordomo which is
running quite a few lists. Anyway, he's my theory about the problem:
- majordomo receives a message to a mailing list
- majordomo receives a admin unsubscribe message from me for the same list
- majordomo updates the subscribtion list for this list, but doesn't create a
lockfile to keep others away until it's done.
- majordomo tries to pass the subscribtion list to sendmail, which fails since
it's being modified. Also, it doesn't check if anyone is actually modifying
the list of subscribers (using that non-existing lock file). The alias loop
breaks, the mail bounces.
Is this the correct scenario? From what I can see from the sources, this could
very well be the case. Any chance of a fix coming fairly soon?
