Hello, Had mailman working wonderfully here until three days ago, when a larger list (just over 2500 users) ceased functioning and I noticed the load average was through the roof (usually it's very low):

The rest are functioning normally in all respects. * I thought perhaps someone had changed the domain preferences for the list? Checked it with config_list and it is correct. Also ran check_db and check_perms, both report all's OK. Exim 4, RedHat 7.0, Mailman 2.0.13. Ideas?
