Messages delayed, out of order
Will Coleda
What's going on with the ordering of messages? My message of : Tue, 27 Jan 2004 19:53:15 -0500 just made it to the list, a day after my (also delayed) /followup/ to that message. And Leo, who responded to the most recent, had his email make it to the list before either of these. =-)
Regards.

I think the mail servers for cpan.org/perl.org are having to shift
rather a lot of mail at the moment, for some reason.

For those that are unaware there is currently a rather serious virus in
the wild at the moment and a lot of mailing lists are being afffected. I
think its called the MyDoom virus or some such terribly script kiddy
like name. So, if you receive an email with subject hello and a zipped
attachment then delete it. As far as I am aware it only affects the
smell checker of those on loonix

Heh. I had guessed the cause of the delay, but the out of order-ness
was confusing, until I thought about it for a minute. =-)
(Note to self: think about all sends for a minute before pressing
enter.)

Methinks the list is also manually moderated....

For non-subscribing addresses, yes. So if you post from an address
other than the one you subscribe to you'll have to wait for
moderation to push things through. (The days of open posting are,
alas, long gone)
