Discussion about it is happening. - ShaoI think this is not the case the problem was solved and the postings were arriving normally; off course if this would've been just a miss configurationsure I wouldn't got the missed postings but miraculously I did; then I really do not know what's really going on here. Besides that now I'm being "moderated", my posts are being rejected and edited version of them get to the list i.e[syslinux] [PATCH 0/1] EFI image booting capabilities Please when you have a minute try to see who has edited/moderated that post,probably it's the same that plays with the list delivery to may account. Thanks, Best, Patrick

This isn't the 1980s. That said, the statement could be an intentional oversimplification of initial symptoms and the real cause may be more elusive or more complex.>> Besides that now I'm being "moderated", my posts are being rejectedConsider what the reason is, be it technical (poorly formed message that doesn't flow onto the list/archives well, Yahoo! being notoriously strict and declaring how the world must operate) or political/personal.>> and edited version of them get to the list i.e[syslinux] [PATCH 0/1] >> EFI image booting capabilities >> Please when you have a minute try to see who has edited/moderated that post, > > Check 'Reply-To: ' headers. > >> probably it's the same that plays with the list delivery to may account. > > That assumption is wrong.Patrick, the delays to our Yahoo! accounts were definitely technical in nature. Your Yahoo! account was not the sole one affected and my theory is that delivery to all Yahoo! operated domains was delayed. The precise origin is probably still under investigation. -- -Gene

If it's temporarily solved, that is not the same as being permanently solved. A permanent solution is hopefully coming. As Gene mentions, e-mail can queue and eventually be delivered after a temporary failure. - Shao Miller
