I was receiving all messages from lists.debian.org on a substantial 
delay a few days ago.  Most messages seem to be coming in fine today, 
although yours was timestamped 6:36AM and I received it at 3:50 PM 
(Eastern).


- Dave

I just got one with a timestamp of 12:06 PM.  It is now 11:52 PM.  
Received 11 hours and 46 minutes after posting.  The most recent post 
that I have received, today, is timestamped 3:13 PM, 8 hours and 39 
minutes ago.  I have noticed sporadic delays like this, of as much as 10 
to 12 hours, over the last few days.  Yesterday they were coming in 
slowly, about 11 hours behind.  I checked two posts of my own in the 
archives at debian.org and they was there within a few minutes after I 
sent them, but I did not get them back.  Later that night, posts started 
coming in without much delay, but there was a gap of about 10 hours in 
the middle that still had not come through, including my own posts.  By 
this morning my posts had come back to me.  I don't know what is causing 
the delay, but it does not seem to have resolved itself, yet.

I (the original poster of the former thread) had the same problem.  I 
solved the problem, posted my solution, and had quite a few nice people
wasting their time telling me what I had already figured out.  Then, the 
next day. my solution appeared, which, if it had happened earlier, might
have saved everyone some trouble.

The machine that handles lists (murphy.debian.org) was recently moved
to a new colo, and got a new IP as a result. There were a large number
of people who whitelisted or at least didn't behave as aggressively
towards us, as they would towards normal mail servers. Since we've lost
a number of those whitelisting due to a new IP, we're having difficulty
delivering all the mail in a timely fashion. 

The mail queue seem to be going mostly down, but does occasionally go
back up. We're trying to talk to some of the postmasters of the hosts
that are affecting us the most.

To make matters worse, we were blacklisted by spamcop for around 24h a
couple of days ago, which made things worse.

Cheers,

Pasc

Large numbers of people greylisting murphy.d.o during the 24h it was
listed in the spamcop listing is contributing quite heavily to the huge
queues we're seeing.

Mail gets sent out in the same order as the distribution file which is
the same order as the one people subscribed in. This doesn't normally
make a difference of more than a few seconds except in cases like this.

As per RFC, the only reasonable expectation for email delivery time is "Less 
than 4 days."  Beyond that, no guarantees of delivery time except under the 
most limited of circumstances (you and your recipient use the same mail 
server).

This is why it is absolutely important that everyone quotes properly every 
time.  http://ursine.ca/Top_Posting

No.

You live in a reality separate from that of the rest of the world.  :o)  Email 
delays are unpredictable and variable.  Don't sweat it so much.

Ah-ha!  If your mail isn't getting through because it's getting dropped by 
mail servers due to listings on spamcop, remind your mail administrator that 
spamcop strongly advises against using their BL as a sole qualifier for

Thanks - that would explain it. I was worried that it might have
been me that was blacklisted for some reason...

There does seem to have been a growing amount of spam on the list
lately - although I assume someone on the list would need to have
complained for that to have got it in the bad books...

Even my posts are delayed. I do not know the reason. I am sending this message 
on 4:56pm May 25, 2006 EDT.  Let's see when it arrives on the list :-)

Just curious,

Can anyone tell me why there seems to be a delay of about 12 hours
between posting a message and seeing it appear on the list?

It makes it really hard to contribute to a thread if the discussion
is long over by the time my response to the original message appears...

Or is everyone seeing the same time delay?
by my calculations this delay corresponds to roughly what I would
expect if the list server was on Uranus..

For example here is a message posted at 18:00 yesterday evening, and
I received it back through the list at about 6:00am the following
morning.

Looking at the headers, I seem to have received the original message
at 10:00GMT when it was sent at 21:00GMT the previous night. The first
reply was dated 01:00GMT, and I received it at 16:00GMT. That looks
like the first respondent was seeing a four hour delay.
