Sorry, yes, two were in the non-subscriber hold queue waiting for a human (me in this case) to review them. This is completely my fault because I had not checked the bug-findutils hold queue in the last few days. I have gotten behind with some of the mailing lists. I apologize for not keeping the bug-findutils list up to date. When a new address shows up in the non-subscriber hold queue and is approved we usually put the non-subscriber address into the whitelist. This means that subsequent messages are treated identically to subscriber messages. They are passed through without delay. This means that any subsequent conversation in the mailing list are not delayed. It is only the initial contact mail that is held for moderation. This is done entirely to keep the mailing lists usable against the flood of spam to them. We are also working within the confines of the Mailman installation. If there ever is any question about the mailing lists please not not hesitate to send messages to the mailing -owner address. Those should all go to a human. Please do make the subject longer and as non-spam looking as possible though because there is a lot of spam to those addresses and it must be looked through manually to see any real messages there. Again I apologize for the delays here. Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-findutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-findutils
