Mailman does not send mail to the list

[tarmo]

Hello,

it started 2 days ago.
mailman will accept the mails but do not forward them to list member (no errors on exim logs). I tried everything. Mailman reinstall, restarted all services but nothing.

Exim 4.52 / WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.8.2-R115.

And there are core.* (numbers) in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman folder.

What else I can do?

EDIT:
Sorry.
OS is Trustix, I downloaded the lates python 2.4.3. Installed, but python -V shows the old python Python 2.2.3!

Core include something like this:
"ii{ż˙æi686/usr/local/bin/python2.4/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/qrunner--runner=OutgoingRunner:0:1-sPASS=CPANEL=activeSSL_PROTOCOL_VERSION=3

I will try upcp --force.
If I want to downgrade (right now I tried EDGE, before I always had CURRENT tree (and 2 day before I updates the cpanel)) is just choose Stable tree and update with --force?

Well, the core files are core dumps of the terminating processes - i.e. the application is crashing. You either need to find out how to read the core dumps (no mean feat) or try another approach:

1. You didn't mention your OS, but make sure it is up to date, especially python

2. Try a /scripts/upcp --force

If that doesn't help, you'll probably have to log a ticket with cPanel through your license provider to get help tracking down what's wrong.

I still have this problem. I have tried everything (I think). Upgraded to Edge version, New Pyhton install + patch, reinstalled mailman. But nothing. And I still see core.* files under mailman folder (they will come after i run /scripts/pyhtonup).

System default is 2.2 version, but I can see that 2.4 version of Python is also there and it is working.

Any ideas? Soon I must deliver those emails manually by foot if I cannot fix this.

Edit:

I also found this:
http://bugzilla.cpanel.net/show_bug.cgi?id=4166 someone has the same problem, but no answer yet

[point]

I am having the same issue. OS is trustix as well, but I'm using STABLE

this message is repeated 10 times each time the qrunner service is restarted (/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/logs/qrunner):

May 30 11:33:13 2006 (19576) OutgoingRunner qrunner started.
May 30 11:33:14 2006 (19570) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit
(pid: 19576, sig: 11, sts: None, class: OutgoingRunner, slice: 1/1) [restarting]

removing all files in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/qfiles/out and restarting the qrunner service allows it to start without crashing immediately however the next time it run's it crashes again.

I tried to add this information to the bug but it wouldn't let me update it

It seems to be working for me...

[EDIT] Nope, still not working.

I've tried changing to CURRENT and doing upcp --force... and tried RELEASE and upcp --force... same results

Very good at least I am not alone I have the same error. I have tried to update the python about 3 days, but still nothing. I try to add new case to bugzilla, maybe they can help us.

Edit:

I added the bugzilla:

I'have updated Python also in different paths, but also no luck see link for update in other paths : http://www.eyesopen.com/docs/html/pyprog/node274.html

I think the problem is with Mailman not Python? qrunner is mailman service. Or?

[point]

well I've had a ticket open for days now, still marked unassigned... does anyone even read them?

I've tried reinstalling mailman and python and verifying the binaries...

mailman is a collection of python scripts (it's like perl). the qrunner is executed from python. python is dumping core when the qrunner is run.

there are bugs in python which can cause it to crash.

What we have here is an incompatability between the version of python that the update pushed down to us, and the version of mailman the update pushed to us.

the mailman we have is patched to work with cpanel, so I wouldn't try changing versions of mailman.

we could try different versions of python tho.

To who we must call? If the lists doesn't work then no emails and no money.
Cpanel support where are you, we need your HELP.

[chirpy]

cPanel support is where it always is - you have to log a ticket with them through your cPanel license provider.

http://bugzilla.cpanel.net/show_bug.cgi?id=4242 - this one doesn't help me? This is a first time I have problems with Cpanel and I do not know what I should do.

[point]

The best place to start is by opening a ticket thru your whm panel. It's found under Support -> Support Center -> Contact Cpanel

This may not be the correct way to open a ticket for everyone (depends on who provides your cpanel licensing?) but it worked for me (I pay for mine directly)

My ticket looks to be resolved. Tho I'm a little unsure of the method, the results seem to be satisfactory.

The cpanel rep changed mailman's qrunner to run from python2.2 (the rpm installed one) rather than 2.4 (the cpanel installed one) and the out queue is trying to catch up as I type this.

Good luck. I'll be keeping an eye on it for some time (and this thread)

[pizzaman]

Exact same problem. cPanel support helps fix it. Here's how.

Edit /var/cpanel/cpanel.config, changing the value of the python line to "/usr/bin/python2.2" (or whatever version of python is in /usr/bin on your server), and then run the following series of commands.

chattr +i /var/cpanel/cpanel.config
/scripts/reinstallmailman
chattr -i /var/cpanel/cpanel.config

I havn't tried if this will survive the next cPanel update.

Good luck.
