[Mailman-Users] qrunners exiting

[George Barnett]

Hello,

In our setup, we see a number of our queue runners exiting during their 
daily operation:

Mar 13 14:20:03 2006 (5122) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit
(pid: 5126, sig: None, sts: 1, class: BounceRunner, slice: 2/2) [restarting]
Mar 13 14:20:04 2006 (5218) BounceRunner qrunner started.
Mar 13 14:25:28 2006 (5122) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit
(pid: 5132, sig: None, sts: 1, class: OutgoingRunner, slice: 2/2) 
[restarting]
Mar 13 14:25:28 2006 (5314) OutgoingRunner qrunner started.
Mar 13 16:20:49 2006 (5122) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit
(pid: 5123, sig: None, sts: 1, class: ArchRunner, slice: 1/2) [restarting]
Mar 13 16:20:50 2006 (6619) ArchRunner qrunner started.

There are no errors in the error log when this happens, however, every 
now and then we see:

Mar 13 11:26:42 2006 (23030) Qrunner ArchRunner reached maximum restart 
limit of 10, not restarting.

At this stage, mail starts backing up in the archive queue and isn't 
delivered until mailman is restarted.  After having a dig through the 
archive, I added MAX_RESTARTS = 10000 to the config file in the hope 
that this would solve the problem, however it's continued to his this 
limit of 10.

Can anybody offer any help on why this may be happening or any debugs I 
can enable?

Thanks in advance,

George
