i'll check it .. since mails are going out to the *list* before
they are comming to me for notification of subscription ..thats
just weird. checking the mail queues shows nothing related to
mailman. and i did get another 450 messages or so last night.
i'll check through crontab and see if theres a setting that
handles that ..

i do see 258 cronjobs running with mailman stuff though.
typical process load on the system is ~100 processes now
there are 434 processes(load is 0.00)
