[Mailman-Users] OutgoingRunner hangs and messages not delivered to mail lists

Greetings,
I have a problem with all of the mailing lists in our server.
Every day the qfiles/out directory gets hundreds of *.pck files not posted
to the mailing lists.
Manually, one can stop the master qrunner through mailmanctl stop and start
it again using mailmanctl start . But every time I ve done that theres a
lock and I manually removed the locks and issued the mailmanctl start .
That worked .
But , analysing the processes on the system I have noticed that are several
OutgoingRunner s , and the only way to get the messages posted to the
mailing lists is killing those processes.
All the archives works well that is: the messages are archived but not
posted I know that the archiving process is separated from posting.
Its quite unusual because its the first time (3 weeks ago) this is
happening after several years of using mailman.
I am managing about a hundred of mailing lists with thousands of users.
I am using:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4
Python 2.3.4
mailman 2.1.9
sendmail-8.13.1-2
Ive searched through the mailman FAQs and Ive not found any clue.
I made a shell script in order to minimize the problem when I am on weekends
and have inserted on the cron (running every 10 minutes):
#!/bin/sh
/home/mailman/bin/mailmanctl stop
ps auxwf|grep python
ps ax |grep python|grep -v grep|gawk -F " " '{print $1;system("kill -9
"$1)}'
/home/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s start
I would appreciate any help on this issue,
Joao Sa Marta
