thanks

I am sort of suspecting postfix as /var/log/maillog is not being written to.

meanwhile,

/var/log/mailman/smtp has something odd. The time to send email varies between 0.017 and 180 seconds plus,  and its getting worse,

We are getting mail but very slowly so mailman is working, and item 2.2

[root at vuwunicomailmn1 ~]# ps auxww| grep mailmanctl |grep -v grep

and,

[root at vuwunicomailmn1 ~]# service mailman status
mailman (pid 9390) is running...
[root at vuwunicomailmn1 ~]# service postfix status
master (pid  7688) is running...
[root at vuwunicomailmn1 ~]#

seems to confirm this.

Ok to assume the above in the qrunner log is normal?

The load in top is 0.00 ~0.01 sort of thing, no no disk i/o, no action at all, disks are not full. ssh takes a long time to login but there is no load to cause this. I can see python is running in top but at like 0.3%.


You say you restarted Mailman and the server, but is Mailman actually
running?

Is Postfix delivering to Mailman (look at Postfix's logs)? Is stuff
piling up in Mailman's queues; if so, which one(s).
