The reasons for the change are manyfold, but all are based on my primary goal for 2.0 - delivery reliability. By that I mean, no messages should ever get lost, if they are deliverable at all, and no duplicates should ever be sent. It turns out that queuing the message immediately is a huge boon to debugging too, because I can now inspect messages before they've gone out.
yeah i agree... I really like the new queuing method... if you turn off the qrunner from the crontab you can easily debug the process step by step... this also makes it easier to understand the way Mailman's Handlers and message pipeline works.
