Hi, I initially thought that this might be due to one of the mailman cronjobs but looking through the crontab made me realise that that probably wasn't so. Have you got a complete copy of one of these "delayed/deferred" emails? If so, have you had a look at the mail envelope/headers to see where the email is actually being delayed? It does sound like something may be deferring the outbound emails. Are they sent from the same email user as is listed on the emails generated by the web form submissions? Without the headers from one of the delayed emails determinign which part of the delivery process needs tweaking/kicking is going to be difficult.

And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans. - HHGTTG ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
