My messages sent to lists are being placed in the mailq and taking 5-15 minutes to be delivered. I use Sophos's PureMessage for Spam/Anti-virus scanning so part of sendmail config hands the message off to a milter, but then it is being placed in the mailq instead of delivering the message. Is this normal, it seems my messages to this list are delivered faster than to my own. I am using sendmail for my mta.
Thanks -Troy

I assume you're talking about messages to Mailman. If I'm wrong, and you're talking about messages from Mailman, these should not be spam filtered at all. They should have been spam filtered on the way in.
In any case, these seem to be sendmail questions, not Mailman questions. There is some sendmail specific information at <http://wiki.list.org/x/GoA9>, but it mostly has to do with outgoing mail.

Sounds to me like you're doing anti-spam/anti-virus filtering after the mailing list. Don't do that.
Do all your filtering on inbound, and then set up another instance of the MTA with all filtering turned off, and listening only to a certain designated private high-numbered port on the loopback/127.0.0.1 interface, and then set up Mailman to use this second instance of your MTA for sending all outbound mail.
I'm sure this is covered in the FAQ.
