again, let me start off by apologizing for sending
multiple copies of my april-1 RFC.
but I found it very strange that having sent the email
at roughly 3.45pm on april-1, the email only made it
to the list today, april-2, almost 20 hours later!
some postings do make it near real-time. I usually
expect several minutes to a half hour in lag time.
but ~20 hrs is just way too long. hence, not getting
a confirmation that my posting made it, I tried
sending from other domains, thinking maybe there was a
filter list of domains that this list won't accept
mail from.
is there a misconfiguration or reason why it would
take so many hours from initial smtp connect (and
corresponding ack) to relaying to the list recipients?
I checked my qmail maillog and the ack _was_
received:
Apr 1 15:31:43 ns2 qmail: 1017703903.569008 info msg

yet it took almost a day to actually post it to the
list. the email left my system and was accepted by
ietf.org yet it seems to have sat there in their queue
for a long long time.
I will accept blame for sending multiple copies, but
it was not intended as spam; I really had doubts as to
whether my posting was going to be relayed or not..
