Hi,
we've been running Mailman for many years and have never had stability
issues, but about a month ago we moved the server from RHEL 5 to RHEL 6 and
to the current version (2.1.25), and since then it has already happened
twice that one of our four OutgoingRunners got "stuck" and stopped handling
mail. When that happens a simple restart of the service does not work.
These processes remained:
mailman 1663 0.0 0.0 233860 2204 ? Ss Jan16 0:00
/usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s -q start

mailman3.rrz.uni-koeln.de:55764->smtp-out.rrz.uni-koeln.de:smtp
(ESTABLISHED)
In both instances the OutgoingRunner was stuck on an SMTP connection. I had
to use "kill -9" to get rid of it.
Any ideas what might be causing that?
Cheers
Sebastian
