Just in case someone else experiences insanely slow delivery, DNS

Problem is that if I send mail to a list, it never gets sent out
I can see the mail come through in maillog just fine. It shows up as
posted with success in post.
You see just one outgoing message in your mail log? What, precisely is
actually showing up in your outgoing sendmail logs?
Are you sure that your outgoing mail isn't being routed through

In fact, in a well running Mailman installation qfiles/out/ is normally
empty except for the occasional entry you see for a second or so while
it's waiting
Thanks for the advice -- I believe your suggestion that the issue is
related to OutgoingRunner is most likely correct, but I'm not out of
the woods yet.

Your SMTP delivery to sendmail is incredibly slow. This is your entire
problem. Your out queue is hoplessly backlogged due to the time it is
taking to process SMTP. You will never catch up.
You need to make changes in sendmail. See
