I'm not sure if it's relevant, but see

It seems you're saying that posts are being sent out from lists other
than the specific 2 lists. If so, then it's probably not a qrunner
problem unless you're running multiple 'slices' of qrunners and one
has died.

Check Mailman's error log.

Check the mailman qfiles/ directory to see where the messages are
piling up (shunt, retry, out ?).

Sometimes a corrupt file will cause a list to shut down in this way.
Check the files in lists/<listname>/ for the two lists. In particular,
if there is a digest.mbox file, try moving it aside and see if that
helps.
