Message with 300,000+ recips via alias_maps

Hello, all -

I've sent an email through Postfix which has one recipient, which is an
alias via alias_maps (mysql lookup table). I've had just a little bit of
experience with this type of delivery, but not a lot of experience with this
many final recipients.

Right now I see the message sitting in the 'active' queue, but its been
sitting for some time.

At this point I'm not entirely sure what's going on. I would have expected
the message to be delivered to its final recipients by now, but it has not
done so.

If nothing more, I was hoping to get a little explanation on what happens
when a message of this type - single recipient federated out to many, many
final recipients via alias_maps.

Is a delay of this period of time normal? I've troubleshot to the extent
that I would for any other message, and other messages which use this same
lookup method with far fewer recipients, and even those messages are
delivered almost immedaitely.

Thanks for your time; it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
-dant
