Anyone's first mail to the list has to be validated by a human moderator; this is annoying, but we found nothing better to fight spam. Now moderators are few, and they must also work for a salary and/or sleep and/or go shopping and/or have time for their family and/or…, so they aren't constantly on watch on the Vim lists. This explains why a new poster's first post usually waits for hours before it appears on the list. If that first post is not spam, the moderator will whitelist its author and subsequent posts by the same author will usually appear in a matter of seconds. Re-sending a first post which is still in the moderators' pending queue doesn't help, it just gets added to the same queue, increasing the moderator's workload.
