I know this question was asked by me before last year.  But this time 
is even weird.  We are running ListServ on Solaris 7.  The particular 
list reached 'daily-threshold' (50) since last night.  I figured it 
would be automatically sent out today but it did not.  All other other 
lists are working and I tried stop/start ListServ daemon, stop/start 
sendmail and even rebooted machine but no help.  I deleted the list 
according to the manual (deleted ~home/chinapol* and ~lists/chinapol and 
all its directory) and restarted the listserv.  Next, I cloned a working 
list configuration into chinapol and make myself a sole subscriber.  I 
sent a test post and it still went to ~spool directory with:

[listserv.staff@weber2] ~/spool [189]% ls -l
total 12
-rw-r--r--   1 listserv     2096 Jan 13 12:39 0007_8_chinapol.jobh
-rwxr-x---   1 listserv     7904 Jun  3  2002 jobview*
-rw-r--r--   1 listserv        6 Jan 13 12:20 listserv.PID

=================================================================

and I got this message:

---------- Forwarded message ----------
Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2005 12:39:47 -0800
From: "L-Soft list server at UCLA SSC (1.8e)" <[log in to unmask]>

The distribution of your message dated Thu, 13 Jan 2005 12:38:35 -0800 (PST)
with subject "Thu  Jan 13 12:38:25 PST 2005" has  been postponed because the
CHINAPOL list is held. No action is  required from you; your message will be
reprocessed automatically once the list owner releases the list.


While the log showed:

13 Jan 2005 12:39:47 Processing file 0007 from 
[log in to unmask]
13 Jan 2005 12:39:47 To   [log in to unmask]: The distribution of your 
message dated Thu, 13 Jan 2005 12:38:35 -0800 (PST) (...)
13 Jan 2005 12:39:47 Sent information mail to [log in to unmask]

There was no error.  I checked the manual to make sure that archive's 
atributes is correct (the same as other lists).  It would work if I 
changed the name, so there must be some indexes files I missed that still 
sent the post directly to ~spool.

I am going crazy.....  would any one please help!  Thanks.
