Hi Anne: It doesn't seem your load is that high (1.49 15 minute avg.) and you have plenty of memory left. There isn't that many running processes (153) either. Is this a dedicated server used only for mailman or is this a shared hosting environment? According to your top output, your server should be keeping up fine with any messages being sent to mailman.

It is hogging the CPU and can't seem to keep up with the messages. I restarted mailman and it doesn't seem to have helped. It doesn't appear as if we are seeing any unusual traffic, so I can't think of what would cause this. It isn't completely stuck...it's processing messages, just really slowly and taking lots of CPU to do it. We are using Exim version 4.43 on RHEL 4 and mailman version 2.1.9rc1.
