Is the list set to Send= Public ?  A better choice might be Send= Private so
that msgs from non-subscribers are rejected immediately.  Then the msgs won't
hang around as .JOBH files.  If you really need to allow Send= Public for some
reason, then try

Send= Public,Confirm,non-member

This will allow subscriber msgs to be posted immediately, msgs from
non-subscribers, must first be self-confirmed, if they are legitimate.  If not
legitimate then they are spam which will never be confirmed and will be
discarded after a few days.  In either case the msg will be in the ~\MAIN
directory as a  LISTNAME.OKxxxxx file awaiting the OK/confirmation, not
sitting in the ~\SPOOL awaiting the temp hold

>For all the E-Mail that gets released, the system is putting a 10 min hold on the E-Mail and then sending.  They appear to have been lost by the system for some reason,

Not lost at all.  The 10 minute spam-check temp hold is a documented feature.

In other words, LISTSERV is working normally.
