[Mailman-Users] mailman suddenly eats mails

[Jon Carnes]

This is typical of cron being stopped.  Check to make sure that cron is
running and that the cron entries for user "mailman" are correct.

If cron is not the problem, try running qrunner by hand (look at the cron
entries for the proper format).
