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.
Best regards,
Tony.
