Had you previously done 'mailamanctl stop'?. If not, you may have issues with multiple qrunners. If you just want to 'restart' Mailman because you made some mm_cfg.py change or similar, the appropriate command is 'mailamanctl restart'. Do ps -fAw | grep python or how ever you might spell that to see what python processes are running. There should be one mailmanctl and eight grunners - ArchRunner, BounceRunner, CommandRunner, IncomingRunner, NewsRunner, OutgoingRunner, VirginRunner and RetryRunner. >Which log would I look at to see if a post has arrived in the first place? When you say "nothing gets accepted", I assume you mean nothing gets delivered/archived rather than your post is bounced back to you. There is no Mailman log that will show receipt of a post. The MTA log will show its delivery, and that's it. The 'post' log will have an entry if the post made it through to outgoing delivery, and the 'smtp' and 'smtp-failure' logs will have details about delivery. The 'vette' log will have information about posts held for moderation or rejected or discarded. Other than that, the 'error' log will have information about errors that occurred in processing a post. If the post arrived and was not fully processed, it should be in one of the qfiles/* queues. If it's in qfiles/shunt/, it was shunted due to an error which should be logged in 'error'. If in another queue, it is waiting to be processed by a qrunner which may not be running.
