Thank you for your reply. I am really stymied as to what is going on. Yes, the message is being delivered to the mailman 'post test7' command, but then takes many hours to actually post. Can someone clarify what is actually happening in the following line. I read that it means the message is removed from the postfix queue, but then where is it being held for all that time. I find no other messages in the log file until it eventually is delivered.
