We are not communicating here. The above makes no sense to me. I think the sequence is: - List mail arrives at the local Postfix. - Postfix delivers to the local Mailman. - Mailman delivers - here I don't know if to the local Postfix for relay to the remote server or directly to the remote server. The mm_cfg.py setting for SMTPHOST determines this. The Default is localhost meaning relay via the local Postfix. > The Mailman server has logs that > show that the message was directed to the command 'post' to list 'test7'. > However, nothing happens after that for 2-7 hours. Once it actually sends > to the list, there are smpt.log entries that show it going to 'x recipients' OK, so here you are saying that the delay is definitely in Mailman. I.e. Postfix delivers to the mailman mail wrapper which presumably immediately queues the message in Mailman's in/ queue, and it's a long time later that Mailman logs the delivery. What is the processing time in the smtp log entry. Is it a few seconds or less or hours? I'm guessing that during this time IncomingRunner or OutgoingRunner or both are asleep. Do you have a setting in mm_cfg.py for QRUNNER_SLEEP_TIME? The default in Defaults.py is (or should be) QRUNNER_SLEEP_TIME = seconds(1) If you have set this to a few hours, it would explain the behavior you are seeing. If not, when does the post get archived? Is that delayed too? Also, messages in the in/ queue are processed by IncomingRunner and then queued in the archive/ queue for ArchRunner and the out/ queue for OutgoingRunner. You could look and see if messages move from the in/ queue quickly or not. Note that if you have set QRUNNER_SLEEP_TIME to say 4 hours, messages can sit in the in/ queue for an average of 2 and up to 4 hours before moving to the out/ queue where they may wait up to an additional 4 hours before being sent. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
