Hi all --- Running a listserver has been great fun, but we have been having some rather ugly little difficulties that maybe I can bamboozle some more experienced listserver managers to help me with. We run Anastasios Kotsikonas' version 6.0 listserver. Two lists, one private and one public are currently configured. Until we activated the private list, things worked fine. Now, however, we consistently find that any post that the listserver cannot cleanly deal with causes the a lock of the serverd. This is a huge hassle, because we need to constantly check for .lock files and then "ulock" them. If anyone has any ideas why this started to happen and how to fix the problem, I would be eternally grateful. I have tried almost everything to no avail. I am kinda hoping it is some weird bug so I do not have to feel stupid. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Robert P.
