The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Darrin de Groot <address@concealed>]

Hi,

I'm guessing that my issue is either not easily solved or that nobody 
has experienced the same (we run our database on a separate database 
host, which I figure is more likely to result in this sort of problem).

Has anyone ever noticed the same problem?

Cheers,

Darrin.
