It was "clogged" due to waiting approval, which I *think* I did sometime this morning. All messages to the announce list must be approved - and I'm one of the approvers. (Maybe Ben should be made one too!) One of the "clogging" contributors may be that if sendmail isn't able to immediately connect to a recipient's SMTP server, then the message goes back in the queue and is retried "later" - I don't remember when that "later" is - but I seem to remember its a matter of hours. Beer Disclaimer: My memory is still somewhat foggy - I'm not sure if I approved it last night or this morning - if anyone has evidence contrary to the above statements, then I'm inclinded to believe them. But please let me know so I can schedule time to sort though the log files and put this "mail is slow" daemon to rest. _______________________________________________ Gnhlug-org mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-org
