I think what will happen is that if delivery to any recipient fails, it and all remaining recipients will be requeued. So if you are getting a lot of requeues, it may well be that there is a bad address on the list that is failing every time and causing all later recipients to be requeued. Maybe check your mail logs and see if there is any error, or at least have a look at what the last address delivered in the first 'batch' for a post is, then see in the mlmmj subscribers file what address comes next. Or perhaps the first address in the /requeue/x/subscribers file is the one causing the problem. Is there anything suspicious about it? There should always be a /requeue/x/mailfile, though. If that doesn't exist, perhaps mlmmj is even crashing. What OS are you using, and what filesystem is your mlmmj listdir on? Maybe something system-dependent is coming up if rename() is failing.

For the other lists we have, the mailfile is there. All the lists are configured exactly the same way, and permissions are the same etc. So it's a bit weird why "%s/requeue/%d/mailfile"'s are missing for the list in question. >
