[Mailman-Users] mailman stop sending mails to the list

[Luis Bermudez]

Dear all,

I have mailman 2.1.4 installed in a MAC OS X server 10.3.9.

I have about 10 lists and were working fine, but couple months ago  
mailman just stopped sending emails. It holded all the messages in  
the queue. So I had to start the qrunner manually or stop and start  
the mail service with the Server Admin program and it did the trick.  
Few days ago, even doing the previous actions is not helping me.

- the server is sending emails that are not mailman related port 25  
is working fine
- I see that qrunner is running: (ps -aux | grep .*qrunner.*)

I am enclosing the qrunner log, the error log.
