Yes, the MTA *was* twiddling its thumbs, and the system too... and as Mailman's daemon was sending one VERP msg at a time, it was not processing the usual incoming stuff, and not delivering the other lists. I got a nice spike at the end of the 5 hour period, when all the msgs that were kept waiting suddenly jumped in :-) -- Fil _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org
