I remember seeing a UNIX mail system where if a message was sent to a
list of users, and one of the addresses in the list was unreachable,
then all attempts to deliver the message to the addresses following the
unreachable one were delayed until the address became reachable - which
often didn't happen.

I've forgotten the details, though, including which flavor of UNIX it was.

If this is the problem, the solution is to edit all permanently unreachable
addresses out of the list, and move the temporarily unreachable ones to
the end of the list.
