Thanks for your suggestion to read the FAQ and the associated list postings. I actually found those same postings and tried every suggestion in them that was relevant. Unfortunately nothing worked to resolve this annoying problem. There may be a setting that is incorrect and there may be something posted that explains this problem and provides a solution but so far I have not located anything that fixes it for me.
It is strange that a pretty vanilla installation, CentOS and Postfix with the latest Mailman version of 2.1.9 is so hard to configure and use. And this after using it on a CentOS 3 box but with frequent delays in sending and unusal errors. So moving the list was necessary but made the list totally unusable. I have heard from a few others with similar problems and no solution, so I know I am not the only user with these issues. Any further suggestions would be appreciated.
