I think this was related to the space issue - I restarted mailman,

it cleared the queue of unsent moderator & subscription email.
* nod * A couple of thoughts as to 'doing mailman' better:
zero: Set the moderator auto-discard queue to seven days and
be done with it -- on a geek mailing list, people 'get it'
that they have to subscribe to post, and will get the
customary notices when they mess up. Dump the clutter, as
mailman has .. very weak ... logging in its v 2 series
one: To permit us to ID this going forward, please install
'diskcheck' on the unit, and optionally tune it to emit
notices to the mailing list or some monitored place
ftp://ftp.owlriver.com/pub/mirror/ORC/diskcheck/
builds trivially, and is no arch with no unusual BR or Reqs
config file is:
/etc/diskcheck.conf
and looks to use the sourced value for
mailTo
and possibly set it to the global mailman owner, or the infra
list owner, or (a poorer choice) the list
I also tinker with the value for:
mailFrom
to make it easier to 'see' these with procmail locally
filtering stuff
two: it may make sense to set the MTA up to use a custom find
script looking at the outbound queue, and deleting
undeliverables after a day or two (the content of a mailing
list is 'bulk' and should not be 'critical' for delivery as it
is routine and archived into a pipermail archive. After
cleaning the OB queue, restart the MTA for hood measure, and
optionally the mailman as well
third: Via cron, I run a monthly process to enumerate all the
mailing lists on a given host, and then to dump an email with
all subscribers, and to pull off various stats. It is built
from simple mailman CLI tools. I save the detail over time,
and can sometimes help former members back onto the lsit, or
figure out my subscribers count more easily
[root@lists cron.monthly]# cat manifest-mailman.sh
#!/bin/sh

# cd /etc/cron.monthly
# ln -s /root/bin/manifest-mailman.sh

fourth: (personal)
I had built a 'herrold.pp' in my local git CO, but forget what
I need to do to get it applied, and my google fu on the ovirt
site fails me[herrold@centos-6 ovirt]$ cat \
./git/infra-puppet/infra-puppet/modules/ovirt_inmanifests/user/herrold.pp
# The user for Russ Herrold
class ovirt_infra::user::herrold($password = undef) {

}
I assume there is a way I can leverage one of my ovirt
credentials to get it 'reviewed' and committed -- possibly get
seek a gerrit review of it?
Please remind me if you could. Thanks
