I have a hosting client using MailMan with about 10,000 subscribers. He sends mail only about once or twice a year and it is an announcement only list, no discussion, he is the only one who posts. Recently he posted and now I am getting constantly flooded with the following message.
I have killed the mailman running processes and rebooted the server. The error message continue. What is causing this error and how do I stop it?

So this is basically your monitoring complaining that the process "/usr/bin/python2 /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=BounceRunner:0:1" (running as the user "mailman") is using more than 1800s of process time.
It's possible that a lot of mails bounced and thus the BounceRunner has assloads of stuff to processs.
mailq
output might give a clue if there's a lot of stuff in the queue
