You fail to say what version of Mailman you are running but it looks 
like Mailman 2.1.x.

MM 2.1.x runs a number of daemon processes, started by 
$prefix/bin/mailmanctl. Each of these daemons handles a different 
aspect of MM's operation, being responsible for handling mail that has 
been inserted into one a number of queues depending on what processing 
has to be done to it.

The above looks entirely normal.

What is your problem? Is something with your installation not working 
correctly?
