I'm not that worried about a 15 minute delay on the list server (the box
in question shifts over 96% of all email within 60 seconds).  The
message in question got accepted by exim and queued for some reason (not
imediately apparent why) and got caught the next time a queue runner hit
it, 15 minutes later.  Queue runners on that box are kicked off every 5
minutes but it may take some time for them to traverse the queue thanks
to the number of bogus addresses and half-dead MTA's out there which can
keep a queue process locked up until timeouts happen.

Short answer this one doesn't bother me that much, but if anyone has
examples which are 2-3h+ delays I'm interested :)
