When I receive a notification from Google that a message from a list member has not been posted to the list, my policy is to delete the message at the Google Groups site without notification to the sender. This may seem harsh or lazy, so here's my rationale.
So far, Google's reason for holding up such posts is that they are possible spam. Perhaps I could let all such messages go through. However, I would then be second-guessing Google, and I don't feel like doing that. Perhaps I could just read the relevant messages and decide whether I think they are spam, and post them if not. But doing that would not be consistent with my decision to leave the list unmoderated. Then why not, out of courtesy, inform the would-be poster that his/her message has not gone through? My experience in the past has suggested that such courtesy can get to be time-consuming, and it is easier (and probably, in the long run fairer) not to do this. If this were a problem that was widespread among the membership, I might seek a solution, but it seems so far that only a few people have been affected. I therefore leave it up to those members to resolve the problem on their own.
