The Daily Threshold is how many posts can be sent -to- it before it
starts putting them on hold.  It will try to send each one to all the
subscribers (unless they are set to Nomail).

Of course the server could get bogged down due to technical limitations.
What happens when you send a command (for example the "Thanks" command)
shortly after one of these big postings - does it take hours to answer
you?

If you have a few subscribers complaining that the posts are getting to
them late, there may be a network problem somewhere between your server
and their site.
