[wplug-bsd] freebsd-questions question

[Brandon Kuczenski]

Yesterday I tried to post a message to freebsd-questions at freebsd.org. It's 
the same question about the tape drive that I posted here about two weeks 
ago.  Apparently the little gnomes inside the Internet don't want me to 
know the answer to this question, because freebsd.org won't take it.  It 
never posted to the mailing list, and running 'mailq' on my system returns 
the following:

                                          freebsd-questions at freebsd.org


There's a similar entry for an email I sent to freebsd-questions-request, 
the automated helper agent for the list.

I know the list is up, because new posts keep arriving.  I thought it 
could be a greylist, but a 24-hour greylist, even for the automated-reply 
address, without any warnings, and from an address that's subscribed, 
seems extreme.  I don't have any problem posting to other lists.  Does 
anyone have any insight?  It's been 24 hours and about 7 minutes since I 
sent out the message.

TIA,
Brandon
