It is extreme and highly unusual for a single Mailman-Postfix SMTP
transaction to take 20 seconds, but it is almost certainly due to
something in your Postfix configuration.

See the FAQs at <http://wiki.list.org/x/roA9> and
<http://wiki.list.org/x/rIA9> for some hints that may help.

Also see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/-IA9> for a way to enable
logging from Python's smtplib which may help you determine in exactly
what part of the SMTP transaction the delay occurs in the response
from Postfix.
