I _really_ want bounces and commands in 2 different queues. The firewalls mailing list gets _tons_ of bounces, and it clogs up everything else.
Have you looked at why? Is it just that large a list -- or do you have a continuing problem with bounces floating through the system that you think mailman is handling but mailman isn't?
Mailman doesn't handle all bounces. Unfortunately, it's not good at telling you this right now (and we haven't really figured out a good way to deal with this, since it seems there are two modes: silently dropping this stuff or inundating the admin with it). I had this problem until I started analyzing the system and realized I had a bunch of stuff that was going to bounce forever -- and when I cleaned that stuff up (by tracking down the addresses that had changed enough to not be recognized, the stuff being forwarded (and forwarded.. and forwarded) and etc), a huge part of my bounce 'problem' went away.
start by taking the bounce log, and grepping for "not a member", and clean up as much of that as you can. You may find a huge difference in your performance and backlogs....
