    Hello :) Are you using CageFS? If so, use a command such as "cagefsctl --list" to see if it's enabled for the mailman user. If it is, disable it via: cagefsctl --disable mailman
    Thank you.

    Hi, We are using cagefs but mailman is not listed as enabled.

    Ah! looks like a problem with a clients domain mailing list . Removed the list and now no errors. Thanks Michael :)

    I am having a similar problem but don't want to delete the list as I own it and would prefer not to rebuild it. /scripts/fixmailman Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/update", line 802, in errors = main() File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/update", line 692, in main errors = errors + dolist(listname) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/update", line 222, in dolist mlist._UpdateRecords() File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman/ListAdmin.py", line 579, in _UpdateRecords assert False, 'Unknown record format in %s' % self.__filename AssertionError: Unknown record format in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists/xxx-exec_yyy.org/request.pck Setting mailman permissions.

    Was the account associated with that mailing list backed up and restored at some point in the past? Thank you.

    I'm also seeing this problem and I was wondering if anyone might be able to help. If I run `fixmailman` I get: [QUOTE]Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/update", line 802, in errors = main() File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/update", line 692, in main errors = errors + dolist(listname) File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/update", line 222, in dolist mlist._UpdateRecords() File "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman/ListAdmin.py", line 579, in _UpdateRecords assert False, 'Unknown record format in %s' % self.__filename AssertionError: Unknown record format in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists/myList_domain.com/request.pck Setting mailman permissions.

    I have transferred the domain from one server to another, but it is not clear if it was working immediately after the transfer, or if it has cropped up since then (the list admin can't remember). How might this be resolved? Thanks, Allan

    Could you provide more information about the steps you have taken thus far? For instance, have you reviewed the previous replies to this thread (e.g. CageFS issue)? Thank you.

    Sorry yes, I meant to mention CageFS - CageFS is not used on this machine. It is a CentOS 6.5 server with WHM 11.44.1 build 18 on it. I tried the fix mailman script as I indicated above, but it gives the error above. I also tried remove the `request.pck` file that the error mentions and also replacing it with an empty file, but always get the same error. Thanks, Allan

    Were these accounts restored from backup at some point? Thank you.

    They were transferred from one server to another, does that count as a backup and then restore? Thanks, Allan

  • cPanelMichael
    Yes, transfers would also apply. Internal case number 109093 addresses this issue so it does not happen again, but it does not fix existing lists already effected by the issue. Have you tried removing the .pck file and not creating an empty one to see if the issue persists? Thank you.

    Okay, I've renamed the file and then the `fixmailman`script and get a warning about not being able to acquire a lock: > WARNING: could not acquire lock for list: committee-list_myDomain.com I also get the same error as above about the unknown record format for another list. Fixing that results in above lock not being acquired and the next list showing the same issue. So before I got through all of the lists renaming the file to hide it, should I do something about the warning?

    You can proceed without addressing the "could not acquire lock" messages. Those should go away after accessing the mailing list. Thank you.

    Okay thanks - I've gone through all of the lists on the server and performed that action. When I run the fixmailman script now it completes without any errors (a few lock warnings) as above, but no errors. However, now when I try to access the mailman admindb page for a list it just hangs. Enter the password and then nothing. No errors in the mailman log and no abnormal load on the server. Reloading the access page and then entering the password again causes exactly the same again - just hangs. Thanks, Allan

    Just had the same issue and ran /scripts/fixmailman It gave me the error and pointed it to a customers mailman folder. Logged into the customers account which was suspended funny enough and deleted the mailman list. All working again.

    To update, the resolution suggested in this thread worked. The additional issue was just a cache issue on the local workstation, and is now resolved. Thank you.
