Hey Stephen,
Thanks for responding. 
We do have a lot of public lists. The majority of the subscribers are google 
users (domain)  though. So we started getting the " Multiple destination 
domains per transaction is unsupported"  error. So I had to enable the "single 
connection per email
Will the update help with that issue?  
I can imagine that is problem for delivery performance.
We also have internal subscribers only lists.  Subscribers are all on exchange 
server which is behind a Symantec Bright Mail Gateway (do they consider that a 
smart relay, cause man it is pain in my a$$?)
The delivery delay occurs with all of our  lists internal and external.
When I send a message. I can see that it is received by the list serve server 
in the Maillog.
Then 3 hours later I see in the mailman log that the message (confirmation that 
my message is awaiting moderation) was sent. I approve it for delivery it takes 
another 2-3 hours to hit my inbox.
The only reason I think it is related to mailman is because whenever I look I 
see that mailman is taking a ton of processor and memory.
When I run Check perm it says "no errors found".
I can attach my config files, which would you like to see?
Thanks Again 
Morgan

If you have Yahoo! and/or AOL subscribers, you really want to upgrade to 
Mailman 2.1.18-1.

Why do you think it's Mailman and not Postfix or your virus checker etc?

None of these are normal behavior for Mailman, and I don't know of any common 
problem in Mailman that causes all three at once.  My guess is a configuration 
problem that is causing a mail loop or something like that, or a permission 
problem.

If it's a permission problem with Mailman, it can be detected and probably 
fixed with bin/check_perms.

It seems likely something's hung up writing to disk.  What is being written?  
What do the logs of the applications in the pipeline say?

Regards,

Steve
