This is my postfix mail log - so if I see it was sent here like the
below example doesn't that mean it has left my machine and it out of my
control at that point?

I am using Postfix and when I send a test to the mailman list, which I

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,

for delivery)
Okay, so look for more lines like this in your postfix log,
specifically you're looking for lines with a high value in the
"delay=" field.
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
That just tells you how long it took for Mailman to hand off the
message to postfix. If there was a significant delay internal to
Mailman, it would show up here. But everything you've said so far
indicates that the delays you're seeing may not be internal to
Mailman. So, you need to look in the MTA logs, too.
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.
Maybe you are rate-limited by your ISP? They only allow you to send
so many messages per hour, and with your mailing lists you easily
exceed those limits at lunchtime?

That rate-limiting would make sense because I am forwarding all the mail
to a relay which can only deliver 2-3 messages per second.
That's a question you'll need to take to your ISP and have them answer
for you.
