Ahh. Well, you'd want to follow the received headers to watch as each
mail server passed the mail along. There will be date stamps. It can
often be useful to note when there is a long delay where it occurs, as
it can tell you who's system is letting the mail sit.
Let's take a look here...

The headers are generally added on top, so the last one in the list
above is you connecting to your SMTP server to send the mail. That
happened at 20:34:59 -0000 (or 16:34:59 EDT). It went from there to
another yahoo.com server before getting to redhat.com and winding
through the mailman listserver software and coming back out of
redhat.com to yahoo at 13:59:52 -0700 (or 16:59:52 EDT). So this had
about a 25 minute round trip.

This one was sent at 01:14:41 -0000 (or 21:14:41 EDT) and arrived back
at yahoo.com at 19:16:33 -0700 (or 22:16:33 EDT). So it only had a 1
hour delay. If it took 20 hours for you to see it, the problem surely
didn't have anything to do with the list software. It would be with
yahoo.com or something local to your system (I don't know if you're
reading this via webmail or fetching it via POP3 or IMAP).
