Is mailmanctl running?  This is different than the way the qrunners worked
in 2.0.x, where they ran from a cron job.  They now are run via the
mailmanctl daemon.

I don't think so, usually if that's the case you see smrsh errors.

I guess that's possible.  If mailmanctl is indeed started, look for clues
in the mailman logs directory.
