Actually, normal if you haven't changed any defaults (at least in
recent 2.1.x versions) is nine - the master mailmanctl and eight
qrunners.
QRUNNERS = [
('ArchRunner', 1), # messages for the archiver
('BounceRunner', 1), # for processing the qfile/bounces directory
('CommandRunner', 1), # commands and bounces from the outside world
('IncomingRunner', 1), # posts from the outside world
('NewsRunner', 1), # outgoing messages to the nntpd
('OutgoingRunner', 1), # outgoing messages to the smtpd
('VirginRunner', 1), # internally crafted (virgin birth) messages
('RetryRunner', 1), # retry temporarily failed deliveries
]
If you aren't using mail<-->news gateway, you may not be running
NewsRunner or if you aren't doing any archiving, you may not be
running ArchRunner.
