Hello all,

I am new to this list. And I hope some body could help me out with the
problem
we are experiencing in delivering our news dispatches.

I am the administrator of one of the news list which has around 40,000
subscribers.
We are using the older version of the LSMTP version1.0d. For the past
two months we
are hearing from several of the subscribers that they are receiving the
"news" really very late.
Our editor approves the message usually around 9:00 am in the morning.
Some users are getting
the dispatches in the afternoon and some are getting in the night. By
that time the news become
old news.

I analyzed the Listserv logs and couldn't find anything wrong. I have
attached SMTP log
which keeps timing out.

Any help from anybody is much appreciated.


Thanks,
Viji.
