Yes, looks like that:
http://webextra.osgeo.osuosl.org/munin/osgeo.org/osgeo6.osgeo.org/postfix_mailqueue.html

mailq | grep mailman-bounces at lists.osgeo.org | wc -l
91552

One issue is probably a single user/the related mail server (the same
email address as last time) which currently has a backlog of

# email address not disclosed publicly:
mailq | grep OMITTED | wc -l
39172

The error:
451 Recipient is busy, please try again later

MartinS may apply the postfix trick from last time to relax the situation.

Best,
Markus
