Nothing has been done in Mailman to fix any memory leaks. As far as I know, nothing has been done to create any either. If there is a leak, it is most likely in the underlying Python and not a Mailman issue per se. I am curious. You say this problem was exacerbated when you went from one IncomingRunner to eight (sliced) IncomingRunners. The IncomingRunner instances themselves should be processing fewer messages each, and I would expect them to leak less. The other runners are doing the same as before so I would expect them to be the same unless by solving your 'in' queue backlog, you're just handling a whole lot more messages. Also, in an 8 hour period, I would expect that RetryRunner and CommandRunner and, unless you are doing a lot of mail -> news gatewaying, NewsRunner to have done virtually nothing.

And why are the two processes that have apparently done the least the ones that have grown the most. In fact, why are none of these 15 PIDs the same as the ones from 8 hours earlier, or was that snapshot actually from after the above were restarted? -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
