The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[TISSOT Jacques <address@concealed>]

Dear David and Matthew,

 

I’m running SYMPA 6.2.54.

I have the same phenomenon. It has one time filled up .stderr file to 16GB (!)

These lines seem to be related with badly formed emails in include file. Isnt’it?

 

Regards,

Hi Matthew,

Have a look at the spools anyway. It happened to me before on some rare occasions for weirdly encoded messages: the sympa_msg.pl stalls on the treatment of the weird message until you need to kill it or it crashes. Problem is: it stalls back (more or less like the proverbial empire - sorry, I had to do it) when meeting the message again in the spools.

You should have a look at the Sympa logs to see which message it was handling just before being locked and check what happened to this message.

If it happens to still be in the spools, I'm sure you could submit an issue to the Sympa Github  with the message attached and the corresponding logs, as the same problem could happen to somebody else.

Regards,

David

Looks like the problem was that sympa_msg.pl was locked up.

I had to killed -9 it and then restart sympa.

In a file in /home/sympa/spool/tmp I'm getting lots of the following?

 

Use of uninitialized value $value in printf at /home/sympa/bin/Sympa/DataSource/SQL.pm line 91, <GEN25840> line 1.

Is there some kind of file lock I need to fiddle with to get things processing again?

 

Thanks,

Hello,

 

running sympa 6.2.56 on redhat Enterprise 7

Just before it seems to have stopped processing the incoming email it threw 

an email "Cannot connect to database", after restarting sympa everything seems 

to be working fine except for the email processing?

Can't seem to find anything odd in the sympa.log file.

 

Thanks,
Matt
