Problems with pgsql mail servers?

I also just received a message from a pgsql mailing list dated Feb 12. The
delay seemed to be in the queue on ns.pcbuddy.net [66.132.188.173]. And
someone commented a few months ago that I was unknowingly responding to a
long-dead thread, presumably due to a similar occurrence.

Is it possible these mail servers aren't running their queues regularly? If a
network failure causes a delivery failure on the first attempt messages will
sit in a queue until they're retried. If qmail isn't configured to run its
queue regularly then they'll languish there.
