mail propogation on list

mail propogation on list

[Igor Gueths]

Hi all. I posted some messages to the list yesterday, and I am just now
receiving them back, plus a bunch of posts from yesterday. When I checked
my mail about 20 minutes ago, the 23 messages that were from yesterday and
from today weren't there. Does anyone know approximately how long it takes
for a post to propogate to the entire list? I'm asking because I'm trying
to figure out whether its mail.attbi.com, or the way the listserver sends
mail. Is there some type of cuing plugin or something running on the
listserver which will send out its mail in the order it was placed in cue?
I am possibly thinking that the problem could be related to fetchmail or
the pop server where I get mail from. The only reason I am even inquiring
about this is because if I want to reply to a particular post, I wouldn't
know about it until possibly the next day from the original date. Has
anyone experienced this? Thanks in advance for any input!

I too am getting messages from this list from yesterday. Most likely the listserv was down.

Igor,

It would appear that, from the pattern of posts, the list has been down
for 36 hours or so.  However, my messages are now arriving back to me in
minutes.  No need to worry.
