qrunner is generating mail - how to stop?
One of my list admins let a mail of 5MB through to a VERPified list of more then 7000 member. Mailman is generating the mails at about one message per second.
This takes quite a while, during that time no other mails are getting through.
How can I stop mailman's processing of that perticular mail? (mailman-2.1.13)

It may be moot at this point, but there should be one and only one file in qfiles/out with a .bak extension. This is the backup of the message currently being processed by OutgoingRunner. Remove or move aside this file. Then stop Mailman. Stopping OutgoingRunner will stop the delivery of this message. You may have to actually kill it manually to stop it mid-process, and depending on how it stops, it may queue the message in the shunt queue or retry queue. If it's in the retry queue, remove it or move it aside, and then start Mailman.
