Look in Mailman's smtp log for a message like

Feb 04 03:30:05 2009 (12244) <message-id> smtp to LISTNAME for 157
recips, completed in n.nnn seconds

where <message-id> is the message-id of your message and LISTNAME is
the name of your list. If that log message is there, mailman has
completed delivery to qmail. If n.nnn seconds is excessively long,
search the FAQ at <> for performance.

If the entire delay is not explained by n.nnn seconds, the delay is in
Qmail's delivery of the mail. If Qmail is delivering directly, this is
a Qmail question. If Qmail is relaying via your ISP, your ISP may be
throttling delivery.
