thanks I am sort of suspecting postfix as /var/log/maillog is not being written to.
meanwhile, /var/log/mailman/smtp has something odd. The time to send email varies between 0.017 and 180 seconds plus, and its getting worse, ========== Oct 18 11:26:13 2019 (9398) <mailman.0.1571274477.9729.postgradcoordinat...@lists.vuw.ac.nz> smtp to postgradcoordinators for 1 recips, completed in 0.017 seconds Oct 18 11:26:26 2019 (9398) <mailman.1.1571274477.9729.postgradcoordinat...@lists.vuw.ac.nz> smtp to postgradcoordinators for 14 recips, completed in 12.419 seconds Oct 18 11:26:27 2019 (9398) <mailman.0.1571274594.9753.vuw-schoolad...@lists.vuw.ac.nz> smtp to vuw-schooladmin for 14 recips, completed in 0.029 seconds Oct 18 11:26:27 2019 (9398) n/a smtp to its-alerts for 10 recips, completed in 0.073 seconds Oct 18 11:26:27 2019 (9398) <mailman.0.1571274783.10156.postgradcoordinat...@lists.vuw.ac.nz> smtp to postgradcoordinators for 1 recips, completed in 0.019 seconds Oct 18 11:26:27 2019 (9398) <mailman.1.1571274783.10156.postgradcoordinat...@lists.vuw.ac.nz> smtp to postgradcoordinators for 14 recips, completed in 0.019 seconds Oct 18 11:26:39 2019 (9398) n/a smtp to its-alerts for 10 recips, completed in 10.111 seconds Oct 18 11:26:41 2019 (9398) <me2pr01mb4292894a699e1df46c8dabe8c4...@me2pr01mb4292.ausprd01.prod.outlook.com> smtp to fad-design-postgrads for 102 recips, completed in 0.248 seconds Oct 18 11:26:41 2019 (9398) n/a smtp to its-alerts for 10 recips, completed in 0.024 seconds Oct 18 11:26:41 2019 (9398) <me2pr01mb4292894a699e1df46c8dabe8c4...@me2pr01mb4292.ausprd01.prod.outlook.com> smtp to fad-design for 56 recips, completed in 0.030 seconds Oct 18 11:29:45 2019 (9398) <syapr01mb26875792826537251b8585ddd4...@syapr01mb2687.ausprd01.prod.outlook.com> smtp to nz-libs for 1844 recips, completed in 184.400 seconds Oct 18 11:31:31 2019 (9398) <mailman.10788.1571276386.12225.teachingandlearn...@lists.vuw.ac.nz> smtp to teachingandlearning for 1 recips, completed in 103.629 seconds Oct 18 11:34:22 2019 (9398) n/a smtp to its-alerts for 10 recips, completed in 169.826 seconds Oct 18 11:36:26 2019 (9398) n/a smtp to its-alerts for 10 recips, completed in 123.446 seconds Oct 18 11:39:33 2019 (9398) <me2pr01mb429218fd19f84fe6c16aa291c4...@me2pr01mb4292.ausprd01.prod.outlook.com> smtp to fad-design for 56 recips, completed in 187.700 seconds 8><---- ========== We are getting mail but very slowly so mailman is working, and item 2.2 [root@vuwunicomailmn1 ~]# ps auxww| grep mailmanctl |grep -v grep mailman 9390 0.0 0.1 214172 9432 ?

I > can see python is running in top but at like 0.3%. You say you restarted Mailman and the server, but is Mailman actually running? Is Postfix delivering to Mailman (look at Postfix's logs)? Is stuff piling up in Mailman's queues; if so, which one(s).
