Okay, I think I found the problem. One of the drives on imsahp is full.
I thought it wasn't a problem initially, as it seems like it's mostly
old stuff and system things that aren't often updated. However, although
most of mailman is on a different drive with plenty of space, the
archives are linked to the drive that is now full. I've moved the
archives to the drive with plenty of space and restarted mailman. I'm
considering this message to the imc-tech list a test, and if it shows up
in the archive then I think that everything is fixed. I should have
realized the problem earlier, but with luck it's now resolved.
