Mailing list too big ... SMTP timing out ...

the pgsql-announce list has 29532 subscribers on it currently ... with 
debug set at 25, I'm seeing SMTP Timeouts in the log files, even on 
localhost:

--== Timed out getting response from localhost:25 at /usr/local/majordomo/lib/Mj/Deliver/SMTP.pm line 153.

It appears to be a pretty consistent thing for that one list ...
