How many of these are there?

========
seems a lot.....

The error log is significantly bigger because of them,

This probably isn't relevant. My guess (and it's only that) is you may
have a backlogged qfiles/out/ queue and the delay is in outgoing
runner. What's in Mailman's error log?

Note: In your RedHat package, Mailman's queue directory that I refer to
as qfiles/ is probably actually /var/spool/mailman/
