At first mail was being delivered - then it stopped - and now it's
delivering again but everytime it has been delivering the messages are
delivered out of order and the delay can be anywhere from 10 min - 4
hours. I looked at the FAQ and I know this is not my issue because users
from gmail, aol, yahoo, etc are receiving - it's just that they response
of post is delayed. If I send a test to the mailman list (which I am a
member of) I can see in the /var/log/maillog that the message was sent
and my smtp log looks fine. I can also see the post in archives. A
while later I will finally see the post in my inbox. I am concerned
that my machine is the culprit but am not sure. I have check the
qfiles/in and qfiles/out and they are empty. I do have a lot in
qfiles/bad but that's because there is a lot of bad emails on these lists.
I am not sure how to "follow a post" from MTA to Mailman and back to MTA
to confirm my machine is processing correctly.
Thanks,
Jewel

You've raised a few issues: missing delivery, slow delivery, lost posts.
The FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/4oA9> has some info on mail not
being delivered to some users.
For slow delivery, check Mailman's 'smtp' log and Mailman's qfiles/out/
queue for signs of backlogging - i.e. anywhere from some to lots of
entries in qfiles/out; log entries of the form
Nov 18 08:51:29 2008 (30746) <message id> smtp to LISTNAME for 217
recips, completed in 4.734 seconds
with fewer than tens or hundreds of messages per second and timestamps
equal to the previous entry's time stamp plus the processing time of
this entry.
Also check the MTA log and follow a post from the MTA to mailman and
back to the MTA and from there to the end users. If posts are being
sent to end recipients and not bouncing, they've left your control and
if recipients aren't receiving them, you have to look to the receiving
server.
