I don't think that happened (at least not yet...)

But things to consider:

There must be some kind of automated spam-filtering going on.  Or we'd be
awash in spam.

PHP's servers are donated, and the load must be enormous.

It's not *THAT* bad a lag -- It's a mailing list, for Pete's sake.

Posts are gatewayed to/from the newsgroup.  That might introduce some
inherent lag as duplicates are culled or something...

I don't know WHY posts take hours to get through, but I'm not honestly
seeing it as a "problem" personally.
