[Tigers] List delay question

[steve wick]

Thanks Mark. I do enjoy the list and learn more about my car and the community all the time. I appreciate the effort you put in.


And this time the round trip was only 51 minutes.


Steve

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.
