I haven't read these threads, and my lists are much lower traffic, but
I'll throw this out there anyway. My mail used to be deferred for long
periods of time. The way I got around this was to set SMTP_MAX_RCPTS=3
in Mailman/Defaults.py. This obviously increases the number of
connections per message (not to mention unnecessary bandwidth), and that
itself will probably cause some amount of deferals. I suspect this in
combination with other tweaks will ease the situation. Hope this helps...
