The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Gordon Chung <address@concealed>]

Hi,

Last Friday I failed over from the primary sympa server to the secondary one. 
However, there was a glitch in the dns, which meant that on some machines, 
the mailing lists service was pointing at the primary server instead of the 
secondary. This has resulted in emails being queued on /home/sympa/spool/msg 
on the primary server(sympa is switched off). I copied the messages over to 
the secondary server but these messages ended up in /home/sympa/spool/msg/bad 
and I can't figure out why. If I use the command "mv 
/home/sympa/spool/msg/bad/<message>  /home/sympa/spool/msg", after a second 
or two, it is put back into the "bad" queue. I'm guessing that the message 
was not sent and sympa, for whatever reason, is not happy with it.

Has anyone experienced this before? I'm hoping there is a simple solution.

Regards
Gordon
