Mailman using a bit more CPU than usual

[W3S]

hi,

One of my clients is using Mailman. (im not sure whom)

It seems he has a fairly large list which is causing high CPU, normally my CPU stays arround 0.15 to 0.45 but during mailman process its above 1.00 after taking a look at the

Main >> System Health >> Show Current CPU Usage


I found mailman processes using the higher part of CPU and mem:

/usr/bin/python2 /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=BounceRunner:0:1 -s \/usr/bin/python2 /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=VirginRunner:0:1 -s
/usr/bin/python2 /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=OutgoingRunner:0:1 -s

and also

/usr/sbin/exim -bd -q60m

How can i see who's maillist is causing the problem. and how can i stop the process? i know i can kill the CPU process as it changes the Pid very frequently.

Regards

I wouldn't be really concerned about a load of 1.

However, it may not be the best way, but I use WHM>Email>View Mail Statistics to see who's using a lot of mail resources. It will list it 50 different ways for you.

Yes chris i have seen that , Is there anyway we can limit the number of emails adys per list?

I think it would certainly help.

I don't believe there is a way for you to limit the number of e-mail addresses per list. Because the account owner would have access to the list's admin area, they could always get around any limit you place on it.

How many clients do you have on the list? How many mails are being sent to the list for being distributed? Are all of the e-mail address on the list valid? Feel free to open a support ticket if you need us to check your CPU useage. Just make sure to point out this thread and include info on accessing that mailman list so we can look over things there as well.

Hello. sorry about bringing up a so old post but regarding this, I want to answer:

Where is the mailman config file, and if there is a way to configure it to send mails in batchs, like 100 emails per hour per domain ?

thanks!
