I'm experiencing long delays between actual delivery to mailman wrapper and the delivery to the mailboxes of the subscribed users.
How long? Minutes. Can take 20 minutes.
Crontab is installed as suggested. so qrunner every minute, gate_news every 5 minutes.
First guesses are:
-- a poorly configured MTA (especially sendmail) ? it's sendmail, does the job. -- a high percentage of bad/slow MXes Seen this. Mail stays in the mailqueue. Not always the case. -- no local cacheing nameserver and a very slow external nameserver Not the problem
I've noticed qrunner hanging and using cpu-cycles. Killing it, and removing lockfiles put the mails that where waiting through immediately (when qrunner was called by crontab). I guess qrunners hanging is the problem. What causes this I don't know.
