I think even email size matters? our emails are 24kb per email. 
As you said that the server hit 30K messages an hour but on the next list
send it took 30 hrs for the same list...any reason why this can occur?
Probably this is the same issue with my imail server?

that's ridiculous.

It should go out in 20 minutes max. I've seen Imail6 or 7 list server hit 
30K msgs/hour, the whole list went out in under 2 hours, (but then the next 
list send it took 30 hours for the same list).

You aren't running Imail8's with its improved queue management.

your list 4% or 5% or more bad addresses, or

you're WAN bandwidth is limited, or

your Imail server is severely overloaded, or, etc, etc.
