Richard, the logs indicate that posts are being accepted into the mailman in queue within a minute from being sent by the MUA. From the mailman post logs I can see the messages being sent by out mailman, after which they arriving in the mailing list members mailbox within a minute. So the majority of the wait seems to be in the mailman system rather than in the surrounding mail systems. (Running "qrunner -r Incoming" invariably causes the mail to much more quickly.) However I do notice that there is a gap between the time the message arrives in the in queue and it getting logged in the post log that accounts for much of the delay I can see currently, files in the qfiles/in directory that have been there for 15 minutes without anything logged for them in either the post or smtp logs.

No this has been reproduced in my test list with two subscribers and small (< 3k) messages.
