Newbie question - qrunner - continued

oops, sorry, hit the wrong button and sent my email prematurely.
-- Hello, I just took over for a system admin yesterday. He setup mailman for our mailing lists at work. I got a call this morning around 6AM that one of our developers had gotten a script in an endless loop, and inside that loop was an error, that was generating an email error notification that is sent to the list of developers.
I did the following in order to stop the emails from arriving (10K messages had already been delivered at this point).
ps aux | grep mailman
I saw two processes for mailman, both: python2.2 -S qrunner
I killed both of them.
I then went to:
/usr/local/mailman/qfiles
and cleared all the files.
Now mailman is not sending mail, the qfiles folder is filling up with new (authentic) messages, but I don't know how to get qrunner going again. I thought it was a cron tab, and would run again shortly, I guess I was wrong. Does anyone have some advice for me?
Thanks.
Ben Timby.

Are you running version 2.1?
If so you need to start ~/mailman/bin/mailmanctl
Have a look on here:

Most likely theres a stale lock in place (not removed due to your assassination of its process).
Look in ~/mailman/locks Any unheld locks you can delete - otherwise it will sort itself in a few hours.
