After stopping mailman, machine #1 shows:
May 24 15:23:34 2014 (11512) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit
(pid: 11516, sig: None, sts: 15, class: IncomingRunner, slice: 1/3)

Machine #2:
May 24 15:21:56 2014 (12767) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit
(pid: 12769, sig: None, sts: 15, class: BounceRunner, slice: 2/3)

Machine #3:
May 24 15:22:16 2014 (31849) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit
(pid: 31858, sig: None, sts: 15, class: VirginRunner, slice: 3/3)

Now for even more strangeness... After restarting mailman I sent another test message. Just so you know, my test list has three email addresses in it, so I would expect the messages to get split up generally between the three machines (and please confirm my understanding... if the list has three users on it, each one of the three machines should forward one message to one user from the list?). However after restarting and sending 7 more tests, it seems to bounce between machine #1 and #2 sending the messages. In each case, one machine sends the message to ALL users. After waiting about 15 minutes I sent several more test messages. Now it seems to be randomly picking one of the three machines to send from, but again the copy to all users is sent from that one machine. I suppose that is better than it was -- at least now all three machines are being used. Is this the way its supposed to be working?

Regarding the upgrade version, its been too long, I'm afraid I don't know what the old version was. The old machines are running ubuntu oneiric and now have mailman 2.1.14. The newer machines have debian wheezy and mailman 2.1.15. The upgrades happened a few months back, but I only noticed the issue yesterday because I am trying to get rid of the ubuntu machines and replace them with the debian machines. The messages have been getting delivered, but apparently one machine was handling everything.

I'm stumped. It should work.  Look in Mailman's qrunner logs for these
machines. When a runner exits (unfortunately not when it starts)
mailmanctl reports several things including its slice info. Do you see
any of these and do they look as expected, e.g., 0/3 on the first
machine, 1/3 on the second and 2/3 on the third?.

Also, from what to what did you upgrade?
