In the past delayed mails where caused by spam filtering.
more specifically by some mail server being on too many DNSBL lists and 
grossd delaying the mail.

what you or anyone else can do is check the involved mailservers on some
DNSBL checkers. 
heres what is listed in our configuration file:

dnsbl = bl.spamcop.net;2
dnsbl = combined.njabl.org
dnsbl = cbl.abuseat.org
dnsbl = dnsbl.sorbs.net
dnsbl = pbl.spamhaus.org
dnsbl = xbl.spamhaus.org
dnsbl = spamrbl.imp.ch
dnsbl = list.dsbl.org
dnsbl = dnsrbl.swinog.ch
dnsbl = psbl.surriel.com
dnsbl = dnsbl-1.uceprotect.net
dnsbl = db.wpbl.info
dnsbl = ix.dnsbl.manitu.net

This has not been adjusted since quite some time probably because noone
complained.
Are there any that are unreliable and should be removed ?
Any that should be added ?

somehow this reads a bit offensive to me, iam not sure its meant to

Checking if this is a spamfilter / DNSBL issue doesnt need any admin
Tell me if thats not it, if so ill look at it tomorrow, i dont have
time ATM sadly
maybe some other root admin has time before, they are supposed to be
listed in the MAINTAINER file

thx
