I find the moderator argument holding zero water. We have a lot of
moderators including myself (recently added) on a couple (if not all?)
lists.
Yesterday Devrim approved several messages that came through that I
didn't see until hours later. Not because I wasn't checking email
but because they never showed. Now, we know the current problem with
that, which Marc just fixed.
However the "mailing list" problem is a constant. Sometimes they work,
sometimes I don't get messages for hours. This is not the first time I
or others have brought up the mailing list issues.
It would be great if the actual sysadmin team had management ability on
the mail servers. I would actually argue that it should be a
requirement and that the fact that the sysadmin team doesn't is a real
problem.
Note we still don't have documentation on this stuff, even though the
request has come through well over a dozen times and been willingly
ignored.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
