Re: Major Majordomo Problem

I've noticed that as well, as well as the fact that responses often times
come in before the original messages make it in.  It makes it hard to follow
what is going on.

In general, messages should make it into mailing lists within 3 hours, not 3
days, I would think.  That's been my experience with them in the past.

:The gnu-win32 mailing list delivers messages about 2-3 days after they are
sent,
:which I have never seen from any other mailing list (in about 10 years of
:subscribing to and maintaining mailing lists).  If it were a moderated
list, and
:we were waiting for a moderator to peruse each message before forwarding
it, I
:could understand it.
:
:However, this mailing list is unique in that messages seem to be cached for
:several days on a Cygnus computer before being forwarded out in batches.
:
:For example, the attached message from Christopher Faylor was sent Sunday
at
:7:00pm, but was not forwarded out of Cygnus' domain until Tuesday at
3:30pm,
:after which it immediately appeared in my mailbox. Somewhere along the line
it
:got a timestamp of Monday.  Why is this?
