New ctm files not going out via email?

If you look in the directory library/ctm/ctm_generation you will see filenames beginning with LCK.  These indicate that these were interrupted.  While these files exist, these CTM deltas won't be generated.  If you read the contents of the files, it tells you at which stage it was interrupted.  We have a LCK-svn-cur and a LCK-ports-cur, and their contents are both "did apply."

It looks like the reason for this is that some of the directories in library/ctm/ftp/pub are owned by mailnull rather than sms.  So I cannot write the completed deltas to those directories.

Before erasing the LCK files, it is essential to transfer the appropriate files in library/ctm/ctm_generation/tmp to the appropriate directories, with appropriate change of filename.

Agreed, best dont adjust, just look, thanks :-)
I suspect it will be working now, & hope it was just a mail outage on host land
(the mailman lists get done on host slim )
