Hello, I'm surprised nobody had an answer for this. Anyway, I just figured it out. While checking top on the server, I noticed that a Python process owned by mailman was taking up all the extra CPU, at a low priority, with some 52 hours of processing time.
I used mailmanctl to stop and restart, but the process came right back up to the top of the list. So I tried doing an strace on the process, and it was quite active... it kept adding, renaming, and deleting a file in qfiles/out.

So I rechecked this directory, and found that mailman kept creating and deleting two files, a .db and a .pck in this directory, each time with a new name, a few times a second! I stopped mailmanctl, and this time the files were there. I deleted them, restarted mailmanctl, and both problems are solved--no more attempts to mail to the bad domain every hour, and mailman is no longer hogging all the cpu time.
