[Mailman-Users] Uncaught bounce notifications stop working

[Mubashir Cheema]

It appears that BounceRunner was indeed dying and I was suffering from this bug:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1394696&group_id=103

I have upgraded my mailman installation to v 2.1.9 and hope that this will fix
the problem.

Thanks.

Other times mailman's bounce processer seems to get stuck.  It accumulates these emails until I restart the server.  Then it sends me hundreds of these.  I have not been able to figure out why it gets stuck.  I have been unsuccessful in reproducing the problem.
