Thread: Weird delays on pgsql-committers email traffic
For the last day or so, I've been seeing that commit emails suffer
a noticeable lag, five minutes or more. Which is weird because
traffic on other, higher-volume lists is not similarly delayed.
Maybe it's something in the mechanism generating the mail, rather
than the fault of the mailing list server proper.

Hi! Yeah, there is a strange delay since approximately a day ago. It's in the outbound delivery from the commit messages. We are currently investigating where it's coming from -- we're seeing similar patterns from a couple of other hosts. The delay happens before it even hits the listserver -- that's why regular email sent to the high volume lists still deliver quickly. It's stuck in a transient delivery queue for reasons yet not fully figured out. Thanks for the report! -- Magnus Hagander Me: https://www.hagander.net/ Work: https://www.redpill-linpro.com/

What I noticed is that pushing to and pulling from the master repo has gotten noticeably slow. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services

Hm, haven't really noticed that here.

It basically caused mails from auxiliary^non-primary mail systems systems (like gitmaster) to get put in the queue immediately (instead of being delivered) and only deliver on the next queue run(which in this case runs on a 300s/5m schedule)...
