[Mailman-Users] Problem is #%$ me off

[Jon Carnes]

What happens when you "su mailman"
and then run qrunner manually (look at the crontab for the exact command 
line to run)?

Make sure your crontab *is* running.  A couple of weeks ago, a subscriber 
had a very similar problem and it was caused by his crontab not running.

Mailman does not run its own deamon but instead uses cron to kick off 
scripts on a scheduled basis.

BTW: I have subscribed up to 600 folks in single go (using the Admin 
interface) with no problems.  Next time, you might find it easier to use 
the command line: sync_members (but its all good!)
