[Mailman-Users] mailman python process out of control 2.1.2

[Benjamin Ash]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, the mail queue is empty, is there any way to check 
  what mailman is actually doing in this instance,  I have tried 
starting qrunner in verbose mode with the -v switch, there was no extra 
output using verbose with qrunner.

Any ideas what could be causing this, and or how to better diagnose the 
problem.

Cheers,

-bash
