The delays are always in transmitting the message to sendmail, rather
than within LISTSERV. That is, the wait time is in the (system specific)
outgoing mail interface, rather than in LISTSERV itself. To LISTSERV,
this is just one request that takes maybe a couple seconds of execution
time, with a system specific routine taking forever to run once the
message is ready to be transmitted. The progress/measurement function
would have to be built in to the outgoing mail interface, since LISTSERV
is not running (I mean it's just waiting without any idea of what's going
on or why) while the delay is incurred. The outgoing mail interface is a
simple piece of code that talks to port 25 and it doesn't have the
concept of processing incoming commands, replying to them, etc.
