[Ngh. Resent; this one hasn't made it through in 4 full days now]

Yeah, I know, list management discussions are best kept off-list,
but I thought I'd just tell you:

If your messages to the list are getting delayed, I don't think it's 
your fault. (Please, no "me too"s. Noise/signal ratio and all that.)


Here's a copy of the headers of one of the messages I sent that got
delayed four days. The four-day delay occurs between "lists.gnac.net" 
and "lists.gnac.net", i.e. MTA -> MLM -> MTA.
(The MLM apparently doesn't add any "Received:" headers.)

.. uneducated guess: the user that runs the mailing list hits its
process/RAM/whatever quota, and the two-to-four-day delay is when 
the local MTA tries delivering the delayed mail to the MLM again?

And while I'm up here on the soap box: Don't you guys read the 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] role mailbox anymore? I've had the 
distinct displeasure of seeing bounces from the same guy for four 
weeks now, despite two (or was it three?) reports to you.


Okay. I'm done whining now.

Again: Please, no "me too"s to the list. This one message is
against list policy enough as it is.
