Is there a BOUNCERUNNER >and INCOMINGRUNNER parameter? QRUNNER_SLEEP_TIME applies to all the runners. I suppose it's possible you are just being bombarded with mail. Perhaps there is some kind of mail loop. What's in Mailman's vette log? What do you see if you stop Mailman and while it is stopped do ls -aR qfiles/ Do you see any entries? If so, and you do the ls again are there more entries or the same ones? If there are entries, what's in them (use bin/show_qfiles to list them)? Also, as root do strace -p xxx -o filename where xxx is the pid of incoming runner. Let it run for 10 or 20 seconds and then stop it with control-C and see what's in the output (filename). -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
