The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Robert Andersson <address@concealed>]

Hello,

I have a problem with, Sympa 6.0 on Solaris 9, bulk.pl. It starts to
die when trying to deliver emails to our lists. So no lists get any
email.

I have log_level 4 on and i see the following lines in our logs alot

 Mar 11 16:05:25 localhost bulk[15550]: mail::reaper() Reaper unwaited pids : 
15546\nOpen = 1
 Mar 11 16:05:25 localhost bulk[15550]:

15546\nOpen = 1
 Mar 11 16:05:26 localhost bulk[15550]: 
Bulk::there_is_too_much_remaining_packets() 
there_is_too_much_remaining_packets

In /var/spool/sympa/clt/tmp I also get files with PID.stderr saying

 Out of memory!

but we have alot of memory on that machine. When Sympa starts it will
spawn 2 or 3 bulk processes but they die on at a time for each
incomming email to distribute.

What do you think is going on? And maybe a solution? Any hints on how
to debug this? I also ran bulk.pl with --debug and got

 mozart [clt/sbin] # ./bulk.pl --debug
 wwslib::load_config() Parameter icons_url in /opt/sympa/clt/etc/wwsympa.conf

 ...
 
It never ends here and no info while getting emails to the list.
Everything else seems ok, archive.pl etc works as it should.

yours,
