[Mailman-Users] Mailman not processing messages

[Jon Carnes]

Sounds like you are not running ~mailman/bin/mailmanctl.

As of version 2.1.x Mailman no longer uses a cron based qrunner.  It now
uses a daemon called mailmanctl.  This must be running for Mailman to
process mail.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
