I am using Postfix and when I send a test to the mailman list, which I am a member of I can see it being sent in the maillog: Nov 18 17:39:42 lists postfix/smtp[3953]: DBFB98C0011: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=ims.washburnlaw.edu[198.252.9.211]:25, delay=0.11, delays=0.03/0.02/0.05/0.01, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Message accepted for delivery)
Now where and what am I looking for in what log. When I look at; /usr/local/mailman/logs/smtp I see stuff like: Nov 18 17:52:09 2008 (2062) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> smtp to mailman for 1 recips, completed in 0.045 seconds Is this what I am suppose to be looking for? By the way, right now (probably because everyone's gone from work) mail is getting delivered within 5 minutes or less. Yet during lunchtime it would be hours of a delay. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 5:46 pm Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Incoming Mail not being processed?
