[Mailman-Developers] What happens with mailman after a crash

[Bob Puff at NLE]

I don't know about your system, but at least on mine, Mailman/Python are only working for a few 
seconds.  The rest of the time the MTA is busy sending out all the mail, and -that- is where you 
hope no problems are when you reboot.  Generally, the current MTAs are pretty good at handling this.
