Hi Mark,

Thanks very much for your fast response--I have a lot to learn and I really 
appreciate the help.

The qfiles/out directory is clear, the queued messages are in var/spool/mqueue.

We use Sendmail as our MTA , I'll ping our Unix admin on the setting that you 
referenced below:


Since Mailman's out queue is clear, the issue is with Sendmail's delivery of mail to the end user's MXs. There's not much Mailman can do about this.

Mailman does have settings that affect how the mail is delivered to Sendmail. For example, if VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL is set to 1, Mailman will sent a separate message to Sendmail for each recipient, and sentmail will in turn send separate messages to the recipient's MXs.

On the other hand, if VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL is set to 0, Mailman will deliver messages to Sendmail in chunks with multiple recipients per message. This in turn may allow Sendmail to deliver messages to recipient MXs with multiple recipients instead of a separate message per recipient which may improve Sendmail's delivery for these messages. This depends on Sendmail's behavior when it receives a message with multiple recipients in the same domain, and I don't know what that is or if it is configurable.
