[Mailman-Users] (no subject)

[Christopher Adams]

Below is a log of a message sent from me. The remote server handles mail
from my mail server. It is sent to the test7 mailing list address. From
there, Mailman/Postfix handles the dissemination of mail. I can't figure
out where it is getting hung up. Sometimes delivery takes 2-8 hours from
the time it was posted.
