Mark, I was reading some previous posts about Mailman and qfiles. Late yesterday, I found a couple of *.bak files in the out/ queue, so I moved all the *.bak and *.pck files to another directory. I restarted Mailman. Mail was not still not being delivered in a timely way.
Then, this morning, I read another post about dns lookups in Postfix main.cf. A poster said that he modifed his smtpd_recipient_restrictions and put permit_mynetworks at the top. So, I followed this and restarted Postfix. I immediately saw mail flowing and the out/q queue emptied and mail began to come in. I'm not sure exactly why it had that affect. So, I have a final question. Should I move the .pck and .bak (renamed to .pck) files back to the out/ queue. If so, should I stop mailman before doing this. BTW - The posts that I read above involved you. so thanks for the "indirect" assistance.
