You should post an email that had this problem _with full headers_ to
action(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org, which will open a trouble ticket.
It is possible you have been caught up in the anti-spam system, or you
may have uncovered some other problem.

Have others experience similar delays with their accounts? and had to use
other domains, like gmail.com?
When I first begin to take notice a while back and last year I decided to
ask the list admin. He replied shortly and indicated there was no
moderation. I also asked a few IETF veterans, a WG chair and AD, and they
all repeated there was no moderation going on.
But I believe I read an IETF person in the list explained delays was mostly
due to moderation. If so, while I don't see any reason for it, I was never
given any notice my email would be moderated and I would like to ask why my
email is being moderated?
Of course, it doesn't make sense because if there was moderation it would be
on the address and not the "person" since I can post via gmail.com.
If not the case, trying to provide the benefit of doubt and seeking a
logical reason for it, I figured the IETF list/MTA software is using some
custom outbound queuing/scheduling logic with a higher preference for email
domain volume, i.e. gmail.com at the top and individual domain accounts last
in its scheduling logic. Since gmail.com is a popular account used by many
in this list, maybe that would explain why the MTA sending this out faster
than others. I offered this logical out reason to the list admin and he
wasn't sure of the legacy software queuing logic.
Anyway, just trying to figure out why the delays since I can stick with my
real account and not the gmail.com junk account.
Thanks
