At least I havn't seen any confirmation of it. Read up about greylisting (or graylisting), I think this list uses it as an anti-spam scheme. That *can* result in lengthy delays for *some* postings. It can also be the SMTP server that you're posting through (overloaded, implementing some anti-spam scheme, temporarily faulty, etc). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Some lists that I'm on, I can send a reply, then check mail, and the mail I've just sent is already there, but replies sent to the Fedora list always seem to suffer some time delay.

I've just checked the mail again, and it's just past 2hrs since I sent the reply, and still have no confirmation that it's been received by the list. This is not a complaint. I'm just puzzled by the delays. Nigel. Since your message was delivered all you need to look at is the full headers and the time stamps that each mail system adds to the headers. You can compare and contrast to other messages on this list to see if all the messages are delayed or just yours. The obvious steps are you to your service provider, your ISP to Redhat, redhat to the list, the list to the archives and the list to you. The most common issue with big lists is that someone is first and someone is last. If in the middle of the list a bunch of hosts are SLOW the the time from first to last delivery can be longer than expected. Others suggested that you also check the archives.Messages will be archived there and you can see if your messages was delivered to the list and is simply being slow getting back to you. Some users will see delivery in seconds and others hours on big lists like this. Especially when a chunk of the membership is 'slow' for one reason or another. Other times there are internet mail storms It pays to keep a free email account handy to send yourself a test message or two. -- NiftyFedora T o m M i t c h e l l -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
