This is very strange. I can only think of a few things that might cause
this and none of them seem likely. Either IncomingRunner is somehow
suspended so it appears in 'ps' but is not actually running or it is
somehow really broken (which would probably cause errors in the error
log), or the installation is wrong in that the mail wrapper is queuing
the messages in one qfiles/in directory and IncomingRunner is looking
in a different qfiles/in directory.

To elaborate on the "installation is wrong" theory, if the mail wrapper
is built pointing to a scripts/ directory with a paths.py with a
'prefix' different from the 'prefix' in the bin/ directory, this could
mess things up.

I gather Mailman was working and stopped working. If this is the case,
did you change anything before it stopped?

You could check for more that one scripts/ directory in different
places or check to see that scripts/paths.py is the same as
bin/paths.py?

Does the web interface work?

Can Mailman send mail, e.g. if you subscribe someone via the web, do
the notifications/confirmations get sent?
