So, this illustrates why I had the retention period for pending moderator requests dialed down to 3 days (the length of a holiday weekend), and why the recent increase to 21 days strikes me as a bad idea: Dreamhost's spam-blocking is really terrible, so the held-postings count was at 66 today and was obviously heading upwards. So, I've reduced the retention period for all three mailing lists, once again, this time to 5 days. I do read my mail, and so will not fail to see notices of held legitimate postings, except perhaps once in a blue moon when I'm actually able to get away on holiday. ;-> ----- Forwarded message from balug-talk-bounces@lists.balug.org ----- From: balug-talk-bounces@lists.balug.org To: balug-talk-owner@lists.balug.org Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2007 06:02:37 -0800 Subject: 66 Balug-Talk moderator request(s) waiting The Balug-Talk@lists.balug.org mailing list has 66 request(s) waiting for your consideration at: http://lists.balug.org/admindb.cgi/balug-talk-balug.org Please attend to this at your earliest convenience.
