The post log is written by SMTPDirect (under control of OutgoingRunner) when the outgoing message is delivered to the MTA. >I'm running mailman on Ubuntu Hardy, and another weird thing is that >whenever I stop mailman, it always leaves at least one process hanging >around.

"mailman post" just puts the message in the in/ queue. I assume from what you say above that it gets processed by IncomingRunner and even archived and the problem is in OutgoingRunner.
