Yes, there is a delay in mail processing in the server. Usually on the
order of 2 - 3 hours, maybe 4. I would LOVE to know why it happens. I
have looked into it before, and have been meaning to delve into the
problem more deeply. I don't know if it is a software issue with
Postfix or Mailman, or if it is a hardware issue with a bad hard drive
that takes a bazillion retries to write a file.
With the archiving problem mostly sorted, perhaps I will up the priority
of investigating the delays. A day and a half is a pretty excessive
delay, more than I have experienced. The machine on which I read Team
Net email is on the same wire as the server, a few feet apart. I've
never seen more than a few hours delay.
I'll look into it some more.
