I don't see anything wrong with DNS on the server side.  There don't seem to be
any reverse lookups happening, and even if there were the name servers in
/etc/resolve.conf look ok (some don't have PTR records, but that should be ok).
So if it is DNS I'd look on your end (but you can get to the page ok so that
seems unlikely).

I'm not a mailman expert nor a python expert, so I'm not sure where else to
look.  There are a lot of messages in /home/mailman/logs/errors but they don't
seem to be related to what you're doing (you could tell better than I, though).

It could just be server load.  It takes fairly long for me to connect with ssh.
That could be network problems, too, but traceroute doesn't show anything wrong
- I haven't looked more deeply than that.
