I seem to be getting mail from the list that in no way seems consistent.
This morning I received email from June 9, and this seems to be the norm
lately.

Has there been problems with the list recently sending emails?

Thanks

Steve

Its been that way for at least six months. I think it is caused by
a mailing list moderator approving messages.

I am not sure, but I think maybe the approval mechanism causes duplicate
emails also -- in the case where the original sender carbon-copied two
bacula lists, but was only subscribed to one. One gets delivered. One gets
moderated. When approved, it gets sent to both (one gets repeated). At
least that is what it appears to have been doing to me.

It could also be the original poster gets fed up waiting for me to find
time to run through the queue, and so subscribes and then reposts.

Then when I go through the queue, I release the original message and you
get a dup.

Sorry about that - I'm struggling to find the time to even go through
the queue (nor can I even find the time to maintain my bacula install!)

To anyone reading this who isn't subscribed, may I recommend subscribing
and setting your subscription to "nomail". That way, your posts won't
get held waiting for me to click "Accept"

with delays approaching 4 and more days, would it make sense to disallow
non-subscribed posting ?

Don't be disheartened -- I think you are doing a great job at filtering the
spam!

BTW, the lists *were* down for 3 days from June 9. SF had problems.

Could do, although this was discussed before - Kern'd be the one to make
that decision.

I've also had an offer of some assistance with the moderating, so it
might become a non-issue

Not a problem, actually.

I had just switched to Thunderbird. I just wasn't sure if that was the
problem or not.

Thanks for the reply and honesty.
