I am familiar with the optimization tips in the excellent FAQ, and have 
used them in the past to configure my MTA (Postfix).  I do not believe 
this is an MTA issue.  If you will review the Mailman logs I posted, 
you will see that the delay is almost entirely within the Mailman 
queue:

logs/vette:Nov 08 10:24:25 2005 (91201) held message approved, 
message-id: <43707B8E.17015.163FEC at localhost>

logs/post:Nov 08 11:18:45 2005 (3641) post to students from 
[email at address.hidden], size=5383, 
message-id=<43707B8E.17015.163FEC at localhost>, success

As you can see, nearly an hour elapsed between the time the message was 
approved by a list moderator, and the time Mailman *started* delivery.  
I would not expect that the MTA is involved in that part of the 
process, at all.

When the message was sent, it was delivered at about 6 messages per 
second.  Not great, but good enough for my purposes.

So what happened in that hour?
