[sdiy] List delivery delays (was: DIP LM13700 discontinuation)

[Mike Bryant]

Ok thanks for looking at it.  I seem to get most replies but the odd one just blackholes.  I’ll see if the one I mentioned arrives tomorrow.

Does the list server only give people a subset of all posts ?   I received the post by Roman here, but not the one from Neil he is answering.  Very odd.

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


From my observations, it seems to just shuffle the timing a bit, so you
might get the missing ones tomorrow :D  That happened only sometimes
(that I'm aware of)

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...
