PG mailing list server problem?

From

Hi Paul, don't know if it's just me but I have just started receiving ML
posts that are from one week to a few days old. One of which at least I
remember getting at least once before.

Was/is there a problem with the ML server?

This has been happening on a semi regular basis for at least a couple of
months.

I just got an email from Paul explaining ...

I didn't realize that it was possible to post to the list without being
a member, thus causing a delay since the post needs to be manually
moderated.

It's a standard problem: people send mail, get a notice that their mail
is being held for moderator approval because they're not subscribed to
the particular list, then they subscribe to the list and repost.  After
awhile the moderator (Marc) comes along and approves the original
message.

There are speculations in the archives about how we might improve this
situation, but no one's volunteered to actually make it happen ... in
the meantime I've learned to ignore back-dated messages that look
familiar...
