The above is the error that caused VirginRunner to die and be restarted
at 17:29:19 (from your previous post).

And the above caused the exit at 18:15:51

And the above caused the exit at 18:16:03 from which it didn't restart

It looks like you've had miltiple runners running for some time,
however this is probably the result of attempts to correct the
problems, not the cause of the problems. I.e., in the above case, it
looks like there were two VirginRunners running until 18:16:03 on Jan
18 at which point one died and didn't restart perhaps leaving only one.

In the future, try to get some information when the list is not
working. If some, but not all qrunners have died, check the qrunner
and error logs. Then if not all qrunners are running, first do
'bin/mailmanctl stop' to stop what's running, and only do
'bin/mailmanctl start' to resume after checking with ps to be sure all
the Mailman processes have stopped.
