The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Daniel Bentley" <address@concealed>]

Resolved.  Apparently, I had missed that one of the messages in the 
/var/spool/sympa/msg was well over *200Mb* in size.  Sympa was 
continually choking on the message until I removed it and restarted 
Sympa.

-and then sent an email of reproach to the sender.  Yeesh...  o.o;;

Thanks.  :)
