Mailman's out queue is backlogged. See <https://wiki.list.org/x/17892002>. Something is changed affecting Postfix. Possibly you had a local DNS cache that is now not working and Postfix DNS lookups are taking a long time. Also consider a separate Postfix port for Mailman delivery with minimal checking. On mail.python.org we use something like this in master.cf 127.0.0.1:8027 inet n - - - - smtpd -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject -o smtpd_client_restrictions= -o smtpd_helo_restrictions= -o smtpd_sender_restrictions= -o smtpd_data_restrictions= ... > ========= > [root@vuwunicomailmn1 mailman]# tail qrunner > Oct 18 09:32:13 2019 (9400) RetryRunner qrunner started. > Oct 18 09:32:13 2019 (9395) CommandRunner qrunner started. > Oct 18 09:32:13 2019 (9396) IncomingRunner qrunner started. > Oct 18 09:32:13 2019 (9399) VirginRunner qrunner started. > Oct 18 09:32:13 2019 (9397) NewsRunner qrunner started. > Oct 18 09:32:13 2019 (9394) BounceRunner qrunner started. > Oct 18 09:32:13 2019 (9398) OutgoingRunner qrunner started. > Oct 18 09:32:13 2019 (8205) OutgoingRunner qrunner exiting. > Oct 18 09:32:13 2019 (8172) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit > (pid: 8205, sig: None, sts: 15, class: OutgoingRunner, slice: 1/1) > [root@vuwunicomailmn1 mailman]# > ========= > > and its now 11:50am > > Ok to assume the above in the qrunner log is normal? > The last three lines are not normal OutgoingRunner has died, but it seems these are the result of a Mailman restart and the old OutgoingRunner persisted for a while because it had to finish delivery of the current message. Note the out of sequence PID and the fact that ps shows 9398 is running. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
