Mailman not sending mail???
Hi, my Mailman seems to have stopped sending mail. Posts to a list(s) are not going anywhere, nor for example, subscribe notifications, etc. are not going out. It seems to be receiving mail as pending moderator requests are there. Webadmin seems to be working normally (except for not sending mail when requested). Where do I start looking? Sorry, not very technically proficient, it's a wonder I got it (Mailman v. 2.1.20) up and running a couple years ago on Mac OS 10.10.5 (using Server v. 5.0.15) but it has been running great since then (until now). I will say there was quite a bit of spam coming in before the problem started, and I stopped Mail service (on Server) for about a day to hopefully make it go away, and then the Mailman sending problem cropped up after I re-started Mail service (I think). Local/normal Mail accounts seem to be working fine.
Appreciate any help you can give me...

I had a died OutgoingRunner a couple of times. Check if all mailman processes are still running. If not restart mailman.
Kind regards Christian Mack

I run into this frequently on my CentOS machine. If mailman isn't running and it won't restart, check the log files and wherever the PID and lock files are being stored to make sure Mailman can write its files. Some system upgrades appear to "fix" the ownership and permissions on these directories preventing some processes from being able to write their logs or PIDs. This will prevent mailman from sending.
