Hi All,

My Majordomo has been working very well since I installed it some weeks ago.

Majordomo 1.94.4
SendMail 8.8.6
BSDI BSD/OS 3.1 on a 233MHz Intel Pentium

However, with one of the lists we serve, we suddenly ran into a problem which I cannot find any reference to in the Majordomo
documents.

When the list-owner sends an e-mail with a whole batch of approved zubscribe and unzubscribe commands in it, we suddenly get
the following error:-

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"
    (expanded from: <majordomo@sohomart.com>)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
Cputime limit exceeded
554 "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"... unknown mailer error 152

I have tested with smaller batches and it seems that 9 approved zubscribe and/or unzubscribe are the limit per e-mail,
because as soon as one sends a batch of 10 the above-mentioned error occurs.

I have also tested with the $max_loadavg in majordomo.cf commented out. No go. Still the same.

But, that isn't all.

When we e-mail multiple smaller batches of approved zubscribe and/or unzubscribe commands to the majordomo server (so as to
not go over the 9 per batch and cause the "Cputime limit exceeded" error), we get the following error randomly:-

MAJORDOMO ABORT (mj_majordomo)!!

Can't append to /usr/local/majordomo/Lists/gossip: File exists

With randomly I mean that some of the batches of 9 approved zubscribe and/or unzubscribe commands go through fine, but in
others majordomo aborts with this "file exists" error after some of the approved zubscribe and/or unzubscribe commands in the
e-mail message was already executed successfully, but not all 9 yet.

Please HELP! I am tearing my hair out here (and that's a scarce commodity <g>)

Any advice / assistance would be highly appreciated.

Thanking you kindly in advance.

Regards,
Gerhard.
