   What were you trying to do?

     send mail to several mailing lists:
     * gsc-official (which is a fake list that we bcc: to
       gsc-official-private which contains five lists)
     * gsc-appc
     * maybe others

   What's wrong:

     messages go through up to a week late. this includes both 
     original messages and bounced versions of bad usernames.

This is almost undoubetedly due to a bug on the SGI's.  A fix has been
developed for this and has been in testing.  Tonight a patch release
went out for the SGIs that should correct this and other problems.  I
do not believe it had anything to do with any specific mailing list,
or user.
