Except that the delay is likely because the OutgoingRunner was slugishly making its way through the "between 80 and 100 .pck files in queue/out at this time", each of which is a separate message to be delivered. The question is why is OutgoingRunner so slow as to create such a backlog or perhaps what happened to dump all these messages into the queue at once. Also, there could be an issue with the qfiles/out directory being physically large even if it only contains a smaller nubmer of entries now, although that should only affect storing new queue entries, not retrieving them. See the post at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-July/045667.html> for more info on this and some other tips too. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
