[Mailman-Users] Uncaught runner exception

[Jon Carnes]

Just as a guess, I would say that you need to monitor your servers
memory allocation while sending out a message.  Your list may have
outgrown the current resources.

If this happens, then corruption can creep into your database and you
may need to rebuild it.

Do a database check.  Also dump out your user list and store it in a
backup - if it dumps out with no problems.

Good Luck.  Hope you find the answers soon.
