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 four-day delay is when the
local MTA tries delivering the delayed mail to the MLM again?
