I don’t see any delays or errors in delivering messages to Mike’s address. If so it must be a problem somewhere upstream.

Normally a new message is delivered in about 10 or 15 minutes to all (…looks at membership list...) 1124 members.

There are a few ISP’s that are very tough on mailing list traffic, though: cox.net <http://cox.net/> and the various gmx.com <http://gmx.com/> variants are the biggest offenders. Cox.net <http://cox.net/> is the worst and delays messages up to 5 days (and then the mailing list just gives up). Too many of those and the list automatically unsubscribes you. Gmx refuses a message for maybe a few hours or max ~1 day. Over the past years I’ve tried all kinds of things to get past these restrictions (including trying to contact someone at those ISP’s), but this is what it is. I know that even mailing list specialist groups.io <http://groups.io/> has trouble delivering to cox.net <http://cox.net/>.

I’m sorry for the two remaining cox.net <http://cox.net/> members, you’re missing out on most of the Python jokes...
