Messages shoot through my Etch+Mailman+Postfix in a few seconds. Dual-core Athlon, 8700 Bogomips. Pick a few messages and follow their progress in your Mailman and Postfix logs. tail -f /var/log/mail.info tail -f /home/mailman/logs/smtp (in another window) The handoff from Mailman to Postfix should begin within a few seconds of a new list posting. If not, something is wrong. Is qrunner running? You should see eight processes per Mailman 2.1 installation. Does the set-GID wrapper mail/mailman execute with no error? Does Mailman start smtp to Postfix right away? Do the messages pile up in /var/run/postfix/queue? (postqueue -p | less) Do they pile up in /home/mailman/qfiles or mailman/data? Are there any "shunt" files? Are there Python errors in any of mailman/logs/* Certain large domains throttle incoming email. Your Postfix will retry several times before delivering one message to a few hundred Yahoo Mail users. Earthlink sometimes takes hours between accepting a message and delivering it to a customer mailbox. You may find the delay is not on your system.
