This message isn't from your cPanel of course. It's coming from CSF/LFD.

It is normal that you would be alerted to these processes. It's up to you how you manage the details they provide.

Hi, I know this is an old thread but I have the exact same issue. How can it be normal for a mailman process to run for (in the OP's case) 179 hours?

After reading https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/ALD/Mailman+FAQ and learning that mailman is just for processing mailing lists I decided to simply kill the processes and disable it. The unusual activity only started a couple of days ago for me, and I expect it was some kind of exploit. Either way, problem solved.

It's acceptable to disable MailMan if you do not utilize mailing lists on your server. It's actually normal to see those processes when MailMan is enabled, so I don't believe it was an exploit:

Hi i am have started having this problem, i thought mailman was for emails not mail list.

In tweak settings i see these options below do i turn them all off ?

Include mailman in disk usage calculations
On
default Off
Count mailman deliveries towards a domain’s Max hourly emails. [?]
On Off
default
Restrict outgoing SMTP to root, exim, and mailman (FKA SMTP Tweak) [?]
On
default Off
Enable Mailman mailing lists
On
default Off
Prefix “mail.” onto Mailman URLs [?]

Enable Mailman mailing lists On

You would disable that option if you want to disable Mailman. Information on how to disable or enable Mailman is found at:

Mailman FAQ - Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Thank you.

This will only disable Mailman, which is utilized for mailing lists.

Thank you.
