I have a few test lists, local adresses and non-local adresses (separated). Both same results. When a external message is comming in, it is in just seconds transfered to the qfiles dir. That part of mailman is working speedy and fine. > I'm guessing that either your sendmail is having some weird timout, or that > you box is too heavily loaded with other processes...

The heavy load is when qrunner is running. The linux box is not doing other heavy tasks. Running : mrtg squid mysql httpd dhcpd named webmin sendmail pop3 samba All above is not used often, except mrtg every 5 mins and sendmail. > Good Luck Maybe you see something wrong...
