The python process stops, dead.<wink>

It should not be a problem, and you should not have to resend them.

(1) Posts are saved as individual files, kept in spool (queue)
directories.  These directories are processed whenever they have
contents.  This means that those posts that were not being handled
when Mailman went crazy are safe, and that when you restart Mailman,
it will process those queues and send them.

(2) The one post being handled when Mailman goes into a loop is at
risk, but only of being sent twice.

Do you know why python is hanging that way?  You should resolve that
first of all.
