There's a stupid, stupid bug in Mailman 2.0, which I've just fixed and (hopefully) unjammed things on the Mailman end[1]. We're still probably subject to the Postfix delays unfortunately; I think those are DNS related, and I've gotten a few other reports of DNS oddities, which I've forwarded off to the DC sysadmins. I don't think that particular problem will be fixed until after the New Year. relax-and-enjoy-the-quiet-ly y'rs, -Barry [1] For those who care: there's a resource throttle in qrunner which limits the number of files any single qrunner process will handle. qrunner does a listdir() on the qfiles directory and ignores any .msg file it finds (it only does the bulk of the processing on the corresponding .db files). But it performs the throttle check on every file in listdir() so depending on the order that listdir() returns and the number of files in the qfiles directory, the throttle check might get triggered before any .db file is seen. Wedge city. This is serious enough to warrant a Mailman 2.0.1 release, probably mid-next week.
