It is not necessary for Mailman to be running in order to accept
incoming Mailman mail. It will be passed to the mail/mailman wrapper
and queued whether or not Mailman is actually running. So, depending
on how much delay you can tolerate, you might be able to set up a cron
to start mailman say every 10 minutes and another to stop it say 1
minute later. You may need to experiment with this to insure that
queues don't get backlogged, but it might work.
