Suggest you find and read usage manual for your shift key. Check your mailman and MTA (exim?) settings. In particular, you want to look at the batchsize and queue-run options. Could your system be configured only to run queue every 12 hours (this isn't the default, and seems an odd value to set things to). What happens if you do a 'mailq' (as root) while messages are queued up? Are they queued in Mailman or in the exim queue? Peace. -- Karsten M.
