This seems to encompass the error (wrapping turned off): Apr 23 02:52:10 hermes postfix/qmgr[829]: DD6454A6B4B: from=<user_address>, size=1762, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Apr 23 02:52:10 hermes postfix/local[71190]: D9AC04A6B4A: to=<list-manag...@hermes.listmoms.net>, relay=local, delay=0.13, delays=0.11/0.02/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox) Apr 23 02:52:10 hermes postfix/qmgr[829]: D9AC04A6B4A: removed Apr 23 02:52:10 hermes postfix/local[71191]: DD6454A6B4B: to=<list-manag...@h/ca ermes.listmoms.net>, relay=local, delay=0.16, delays=0.12/0.02/0/0.02, dsn=5.2.0, status=bounced (cannot update mailbox /mail/postfix/spool/list-managers for user list-managers. file has 2 hard links) Apr 23 02:52:10 hermes postfix/cleanup[71188]: 0D5074A6B4D: message-id=<20090423065210.0d5074a6...@hermes.mailbounce.net> Apr 23 02:52:10 hermes postfix/bounce[71193]: DD6454A6B4B: sender non-delivery notification: 0D5074A6B4D Apr 23 02:52:10 hermes postfix/qmgr[829]: 0D5074A6B4D: from=<>, size=3780, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Apr 23 02:52:10 hermes postfix/qmgr[829]: DD6454A6B4B: removed Apr 23 02:52:10 hermes postfix/smtp[71206]: 0D5074A6B4D: to=<user_address>, relay=mail.listmoms.net[71.126.154.132]:25, delay=0.13, delays=0.02/0.05/0.02/0.05, dsn=2.6.0, status=sent (250 2.6.0 message received OK) Apr 23 02:52:10 hermes postfix/qmgr[829]: 0D5074A6B4D: removed >and the output of your >postfix -n, as specified in the list welcome message. I'd rather not post information like that _pro forma_; if there's some subset of that information that might be of help in diagnosing this issue, then I'd be happy to post it. I realize that my reluctance to post the entire data set might limit the likelihood of getting to the bottom of this error. >I'd also grep the postfix log for warning messages that might be related to >the spool file. What you see above is "it." __________________________________________________________________________ Vince Sabio vi...@vjs.org
