[Qemu-devel] Anyone knows why some mails get stuck at lists.gnu.org?

[Oliver Gerlich]

Hello,

apparently today another load of delayed mails appeared on the 
qemu-devel list... I have experienced this delay myself with some mails 
I sent (OTOH the last mail I sent appeared after just 20 minutes). So I 
wonder if anyone knows why some mails are delayed so much?

The mail headers look like this:

...
Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1] helo=lists.gnu.org)
	by lists.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.43)
	id 1GgCp2-0007R5-Cz
	for olig9@gmx.de; Fri, 03 Nov 2006 23:07:56 -0500
Received: from mailman by lists.gnu.org with tmda-scanned (Exim 4.43)
	id 1GeYNY-0007fP-0O
	for qemu-devel@nongnu.org; Mon, 30 Oct 2006 09:44:44 -0500

	id 1GeYNS-0007f4-1o
	for qemu-devel@nongnu.org; Mon, 30 Oct 2006 09:44:42 -0500
...

So it seems the mails are stuck at lists.gnu.org . Any idea what's 
causing this or how to get rid of the delay?

Thanks,

Last I heard, Rusty was manually screening all posts from
non-subscribers (to stop spam being posted). That could account for much
of the delayed mail.
