mail does seem to get stuck on the mailserver at debian for a couple of hoursSometimes, but not all the time. Thus, we can conclude that this is not a constant problem.so it's probably not down to the internet - bandwith or server load seem the likely culprits.other mailing lists I'm on certainly don't suffer this problem with mails returning in under a minute anormallyNo offense, but I seriously doubt that last Friday and Saturday you were getting replies in under a minute from any mailing list.
no but I have since monday
OTOH there's no argument that the debian list server is probably in need of an upgrade. I've no idea what they've got right now, but I'm sure donations will be accepted :-)
I'm sure they accept donations...and if I get some work I might make one - in the meantime I guess it's just idle curiosity as to what the problem is.
Say, do those other mailing lists (why would you need other lists?? :-) apply spamfilter to every message?
some do some don't - but this is by far the slowest list I can remember subscribing to
