There are lot of .pck files under /usr/local/mailman/qfiles/in
Any suggestion would be very helpful.

Hi,
I have an issue where the mailman server is delaying to send emails, which happened for the first time. It is not our mail server as mails other than mailman are going fine.
The delay is over 6 hours.
Can someone please suggest something to check.
Regards,
Anil.

This is unusual. Normally the queue that is backlogged is qfiles/out because of slow delivery from Mailman to the MTA.
See some of the hits at <https://www.google.com/#q=site:mail.python.org+inurl:mailman-users+backlogge...>
I have never seen a backlogged 'in' queue unless Mailman is not running at all.
However, in this case, messages are being delivered so Mailman is running.
You say it is not your server, yet you seem to at least have access to Mailman's files.
Have you checked Mailman's logs (/usr/local/mailman/logs/*).
What Mailman version is this? If it is 2.1.18 or newer and a list has dmarc_moderation_action set to other than Accept, it could be long delays in DNS lookups of the From: domain's DMARC policy.
