Hello!

I have regular delays in message processing. Say, my server (Linux/Postfix)
receives a letter at 17:36 and quickly delivers it to the mailman queue (?).
Then message is hold for about 25 minutes and is processed again at 18:01.

It is strange to me, why mailman keeps the message so long?
How can I investigate such situation?

Maybe, other messages in queue could be the reason?

$ ls -1 /var/lib/mailman/qfiles/in/|wc -l
0
$ ls -1 /var/lib/mailman/qfiles/out/|wc -l
120
$ ls -1 /var/lib/mailman/qfiles/retry/|wc -l
121

There are 8 Incoming, 8 Outgoing, 4 Retry and 4 Bounce qrunners on the server.
Nothing interesting in /var/log/mailman/error for that period.

I cite mail logs here in hope they can help:
