No config changes necessary. Here's the skinny: The list is hosted on a shared server with other client websites. In order to ensure that everyone gets fair access to the SMTP server (and our clients' email delivery doesn't suffer), majordomo is throttled back to only allow a certain number of child processes to execute simultaneously. I don't WANT thousands of emails per minute going out because a) it's an unnecessary burden on the server; and b) I don't want to be blacklisted as a spammer.
Add to this the fact that EVERY incoming and outgoing email on the server is scanned for virii, spam and other malware, and every incoming email to the lists are "demimed" and the delays are easily accounted for. Outgoing majordomo mail is sent with "list" priority (as opposed to bulk or first class), so busy mail servers may further delay processing of email from the lists. Majordomo's lists are also kept in alphabetical order, so if your email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], you can expect to receive your emails sooner than [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hope this helps.
