John: I'd rather try postmas...@python.org if you'd like to know what took the email so long; the postmasters will have access to python.org's mailer logfiles. >> Patience is a virtue :-) It took approximately 3 hours. According to the >> email headers there was no email delay. > > Waiting for 3 hours to create an issue is a bad user experience. Anatoly: What do you think we do with the confirmation email? Delay it for some time intentionally to scare of the damn users? This is just what happens to email sometimes, if e.g. the receiving mailserver is greylisting messages from python.org for some time. You really should know enough about email to know it's not a real-time medium. (And if you want to complain about the python.org email servers, please write to postmas...@python.org.)
