Mailing List are taking 2~4 hours to be delivered

We have problems with Dlist as well. Sometimes is takes
forever to  
send the mailing list messages,
which a restart solves most of the time. I would love to
move on to  
something more robust such as
Mailman, but it does not integrate well with SurgeMail, so I
have no  
choice. :(

There are two likely causes for this:
    1) dlist has died, look for a core file and send us the
resulting 
backtrace, also the dlist.log file as it is before dlist
gets restarted.
    2) dlist could be stuck on a large list, if you have one
or more 
'very' large lists this can slow dlist down.    In many
cases this can 
be fixed by adjusting the list settings or adjusting your
spam/virus 
settings so each message from dlist is not scanned (as this
can be the 
real cause of the slow down)

As a first step examine dlist.log when sending to your
biggest mailing 
list, does it show slow steady progress, if so what rate is
it sending, 
then examine mail.log to try and identify what is slowing
delivery 
down,  then if you can't find it send the details to us:
    dlist.log  (during sending a large list)
    lists.dat
    surgemail.ini
    mail.log (during sending a large list)
