    This is happening on 6 servers now.
    Anytime anyone runs even a small mailing list to 20 users mailman hogs the CPU.

    11:20am up 7 days, 23:46, 1 user, load average: 1.11, 1.24, 1.25
    89 processes: 86 sleeping, 3 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped

    Restarting cpanel is not a problem

    I am having to do that every few hours right now because it dies for no reason.

    That top was right after a Cpanel restart.

    I've seen it get stuck a few times right after a cpanel restart. Usually, starting again does the trick to get rid of it. However, if you've got Cpanel restarting frequently, I imagine you'd see more of this behavior. :(

    Hello

    I think it came with the latest update. It started up to use all of the CPU and i killed it. I killed ita second time. Then during the night it must have started again and crashed my server. I had to ask for a reboot from the NOC.

    In another thread, /scripts/fixmailman was suggested.

    This seems to help indeed.

    Also, when restarting Cpanel, manually killing the python2 processes afterwards makes them stop.
