[Mailman-Users] Fwd: Mailing list lag to SOME users

[Kevin Carpenter]

Thanks Peter.   Not sure why the header images were removed from the e-mail.

In any case, they basically showed the e-mail bouncing around within my 
mail server, presumingly as its passes through various greylist, 
blacklist, and anti-spam filtering.  Typically headers looks like:

Hop 1:  User tool -> User mail system mapi
Hop 2:  User mapi -> User mail system SMTP server (TLS)
Hop 3:  User mail SMTP -> mail.seaplace.org (Postfix - obviously 
external IP address)
Hop 4:  mail.seaplace.org (localhost) -> Amavsid-new (localhost)
Hop 5:  localhost -> mail.seaplace.org (Postfix)
Hop 6:  spoe.seaplace.org (external address???)  -> mail.seaplace.org 
(Postfix)  /* This is where the delay occurs */
Hop 7:  mail.seaplace.org (localhost) -> Amavsid-new (localhost)
Hop 8:  localhost -> mail.seaplace.org (Postfix)
Hop 9:  spoe.seaplace.org (external address) -> Recipient server

spoe/mail.seaplace.org is my externally connected mail server.

The ~1700 users are splattered all over the world, although 
predominately in the USA.
