This is a *temporary* error. Your provider's server should retry
delivering the message for a decent amount of time (3 to 7 days is
customary).

Your provider's server may send you a notification that the mail cannot
currently be delivered and that it will keep trying. Such notifications
are usually sent after a much shorter period (a few hours).

Usually

it gets through then.


Looks kinda like greylisting to me. I'm pretty sure that's one of the 
tool in the mail.python.org  chain.


I don't see it as greylisting.  A repeat post will succeed, before there 
would be time for my email provider (Dreamhost) to do anything about it.

I guess that in future I'll wait a couple days before I assume

Do not worry. Sending email is harder than coding in Python. Anyway,
your email arrived safely in my mailbox. Congratulations!

January 29th, AFAICS. And end of december before that.

This did show up and 3 other test messages with very similar text
as well.

Also there was a whole flurry of almost but not quite identical messages
from you in the "nan" thread.


Sorry about that.

All of those were posted at various times throughout the day yesterday
using two different accounts, two different mail servers, and three
different methods for submitting the e-mails.  I finally gave up and
switched to using comp.lang.python via Usenet.

Then, about 24 hours later, all those messages finally showed up.

At one point about half way through that process yesterday, I
unsusbscribed and then re-subscribed both e-mail addresses.  I got
confirmation and welcome messages on both accounts.  Sending "help"
requests to the list server produced the expected results. I enabled
the sending of confirmation messages from the list server.

But posts to the list still seemed to vanish into the ether while
emails from both accounts reached other destinations without delay,

During this process a number of posts from other users did appear in
the list archive and at at _one_ of the two e-mail addresses which I
had subscribed.

But no sign of any of my posts.

I can't explain the delays, but will note that the gate-news program on the
server runs every 5 minutes via cron. There are multiple moving parts in
the overall system. You'll probably get a more useful answer from
postmas...@python.org.

Looking at the email-headers, there are sometimes considerable delays 
between messages submitted to the List-reflector, and their outward 
transmission (to me).


Interestingly, there's something strange about the queuing. Instead of 
FIFO it seems some messages arrive ahead of others, ie out-of-sequence.

(wonder if explained by submission via email or Usenet?)

I've noted long delays too. Perhaps (also) to do with time-of-day?

Always feel slightly embarrassed if 'repeat' an answer* that someone 
else had previously submitted, eg __new__ thread and @MRAB. However, if 
the reflector 'holds onto' the earlier message, then how should I/anyone 
know?


* yes, repetition improves learning, slightly different words may help 
comprehension; but doubt I can express anything better than the 
aforementioned does/did/can.
