Thanks to both, I don't think its DNS as the mailman server is smarthost'd in sendmail to go to a outgoing smtp server....so why it would do dns lookups I don't know...

Is there anyway to determine where the issue lies?
Look at the logs. Correlate the message-ids in the MTA logs (sendmail, postfix, whatever) with the message-ids in the Mailman logs (presumably in /usr/local/mailman/logs, or elsewhere as appropriate for your installation), and then do the same for the outbound traffic (going back to the MTA logs with the ids of the messages as they are generated by Mailman).
That's about the only way I know of.
