I didn’t get any response from you on this matter.

To make matters worse, my own posts are moderated and I’ve seen a 2- to
3-day delay before they’d reach the mailing list lately.  That makes it
hard for me to participate.

Meanwhile, all the abuse email is getting through unmoderated AFAICS
(i.e., there’s no delay between their ‘Date’ header and the time I
receive them.)

Mike, Brandon: please rectify this situation.

Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.
