How are messages forwarded to the list? Many times I have sent messages/replies that don't arrive in my mail box for a long, long time and other times the messages appear within seconds.
Currently I have two replies not yet in my mail box, but I already received a reply I sent after those two.
Strange or normal behavior?

For Yahoo that is normal. Yahoo can queue outgoing messages for a long, long time in my experience.

So the problem is Yahoo and not the list? In addition to their stupid captchas I have to type every other message?
Actually it happens very often with my address too. I haven't greylist or something like this on my email server.

Well, you can look at the headers of the message once it makes it to the list. For the FTBFS message (which I am ignoring as requested ;-)) my server did not receive the message until after 4:00 CDT, while it was sent at around 2:00 CDT. I wonder if something upstream from me is delaying list traffic, or if the big Email providers just delay sending mail for that long?

Okay, so there is a delay --- somewhere. I am now getting messages I sent much earlier today.

At 12:24 I sent a reply to your 12:09 question "[systemtray] Clearing area to set background." I have yet to see that message roll through. My 12:24 response is not in the list digest either. Something upstream is causing the delays.
