It probably is Yale's fault, but what makes that hard to believe is
the fact the this list is the _only_ e-mail (list or person-to-person) that
has such a delay... Oh well, such is technology... :)

Would this improve the ~1 hour time it takes for
me to see the
messages that I post to this list?
I'm not shure if this is originated in the Mailinglist server.
Over here I have some 20 seconds to 3 minutes (a few times up
to 10 minutes). Looks more like your providers infrastructure.

I see the same thing, though more like a 20 minute delay, I often see a
response to an email before my message is echoed back, so obviously not every
one has the same delay. Its not provider related in my case since there are
no intermediate mail handlers...

The delay in propagating a message is due to Sendmail, not solely to the
mailing list software, although the mailing list software can take steps
to avoid the problem in Sendmail. The issue is: if Sendmail is given a
list of N addresses, it spins off one process that then delivers to the
appropriate MX addresses one by one. Majordomo just makes one huge list.
So, if you're at the end of the list, your delay is long. Some other
MLM's (maybe MailMan is one of them -- I don't know) make lots of shorter
lists, so the deliveries happen more in parallel. If that's the case,
MailMan will improve your delivery times.
