IETF posting delays

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For IETF mailing lists like this, I would prefer to use my real "professional" email address hsantos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx. However, since it often takes over 24 hours or longer, and in cases over the year "lost" (never posted), I regularly now use my junk gmail.com alias account which is posted on the IETF list "immediately" with a copy sent my santronics.com account hosting server and picked up within minutes of my next mail reader pop3 poll.

Have others experience similar delays with their accounts? and had to use other domains, like gmail.com?

When I first begin to take notice a while back and last year I decided to ask the list admin. He replied shortly and indicated there was no moderation. I also asked a few IETF veterans, a WG chair and AD, and they all repeated there was no moderation going on.

But I believe I read an IETF person in the list explained delays was mostly due to moderation. If so, while I don't see any reason for it, I was never given any notice my email would be moderated and I would like to ask why my email is being moderated?

Of course, it doesn't make sense because if there was moderation it would be on the address and not the "person" since I can post via gmail.com.

If not the case, trying to provide the benefit of doubt and seeking a logical reason for it, I figured the IETF list/MTA software is using some custom outbound queuing/scheduling logic with a higher preference for email domain volume, i.e. gmail.com at the top and individual domain accounts last in its scheduling logic. Since gmail.com is a popular account used by many in this list, maybe that would explain why the MTA sending this out faster than others. I offered this logical out reason to the list admin and he wasn't sure of the legacy software queuing logic.

Anyway, just trying to figure out why the delays since I can stick with my real account and not the gmail.com junk account.

Thanks
