I'm sure not of the process you are following (there could be institutional
delays in processing your own script), but normally LISTSERV creation reponses
are virtually immediate.  Have you checked logs, etc to determine if the delay
is elsewhere in your mail system (either getting to LISTSERV or getting a
response back).

This is a little bit high, but not ususual.
Please read the following FAQ and see if this filesystem issue might apply to
you:  http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/lsmtp-faq.stm#3.1
(Yes this FAQ is written with LSMTP in mind but the NTFS issues also apply to
LISTSERV and the same action should be taken.)

No.

This cannot be done.
