I may have found it... Man I should have known. And Of course I do not know how to fix it.
Looks like we are receiving messages every 2 minutes or so from people not on the and mailman is busy filtering those out (totally my theory).

Should the server be able to handle this? How can I see what list these are being sent too? How can I stop them? Thanks Morgan -----Original Message----- From: Stephen J.

Why do you think it's Mailman and not Postfix or your virus checker etc? None of these are normal behavior for Mailman, and I don't know of any common problem in Mailman that causes all three at once. My guess is a configuration problem that is causing a mail loop or something like that, or a permission problem. If it's a permission problem with Mailman, it can be detected and probably fixed with bin/check_perms. > Where is it hung up how can I clear it out? It seems likely something's hung up writing to disk. What is being written? What do the logs of the applications in the pipeline say?
