[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#733475: mailmanctl dies silently, messages delayed until intervention

[Jan Niehusmann]

Hi,

same issue here. Looking at /etc/init.d/mailman, there is special code
in the restart code to make sure mailman is actually stopped before it
gets restartet.

May it be that either needrestart or systemd calls the stop and start
rules directly, instead of using the restart rule?

See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=231468 for a
related bug report, which was fixed by adding the mentioned check to the
restart code.
