I am having major delays when sending messages out. I have several lists with 20k-30k users. I just discovered that a message that was sent out on October 25 is still being delivered. Other than the logs in the /var/log/mailman directory, is there a diagnostics program or some sort of reporting with mailman? I can't find anything in the docs.
System
OS: CentOS 5 x64
SMTP: Postfix 2.3.3
Listserv: Mailman 2.1.9
Perl: Perl 5.8.8
Python: 2.4.3

Brad is correct, but note that if you look at Mailman's smtp log, you should find the "<message-id> smtp for nnnn recips, completed in xxx.xxx seconds" log entry relating to your Oct 25 message. At the time that entry was written, Mailman was done delivering that message except for possible retries of temporary failures occurring in delivery to the outgoing MTA. These failures if any will be logged in Mailman's smtp-failure log. Mailman will continue to retry the temporary failures for DELIVERY_RETRY_PERIOD (default 5 days) following the original failure.
Once Mailman has handed the delivery to the MTA and logged it in 'smtp', subsequent delays are in the MTA or further outbound, so you might get more information from your MTA's logs.
