Re: (no subject)

I have never used qmail myself, but I know it is different from and has
unique requirements to configure use with majordomo.  Several questions
come to mind...

Does the date in your majordomo.log entry match the timestamp of the
tmp file?

If not, something (qmail?) did not clean up the files last time they
were used, and you should remove them manually.

If the files actually contain message(s) from "Dec 01, 2009", do you
have the qmail and majordomo logs that match the timestamp?

Do you have more than one list?  Does this happen every time you send
messages through majordomo, or just a specific list?  Or has this not
happened at all since 1 Dec 09?

If you can't tell, I am thinking this is probably something to do with
the way qmail does things vs. a problem with majordomo.  With sendmail
I do not see *.in or *.out files in my tmp directory.
