[Mailman-Users] Excessive cpu usage

[Arnar Birgisson]

Sorry for replying to my own post.. but I just noticed by watching the
$prefix/qfiles/out directory.. that files are being created and removed
there constantly.. still, nothing in the logs. There is however no
ongoing traffic at the moment, this is a private server with few lists.
My MTA is Exim 4, since recently.

Hello.. and thanks for the response.

I probably should have mentioned that there is currently no traffic on
the server.. no messages are being sent and all queues are empty.

The problem might be the message size. Mailman parses all the messages
with 
python,who is a little unefficient.

For example, on my mailman machine, messages of size=300 KB required
300 MB of 
RAM for processing... and used up (+90%) the CPU (P-III-Xeon-550).

In my case, the solution was to reduce the message size,
