It looks to me like you are being hit with massive amounts of spam to the list's post and bounces address or you have some kind of mail loop going on which is generating all this mail. Your high CPU utilization is a result of Mailman doing real work to handle all this mail.

It's not necessary to do the above since I think I know that there is not actually a problem with Mailman's relinquishing when it doesn't have anything to do. The problem is it always has something to do. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
