It's just me on Christmas holiday. :-)

This list is "subscribers only" in the sense that Majordummy
implements it. Messages with "From:" matching any subscribed address
or one of the "golden VIP" addresses (like the IETF secretariat, the
area directors, me, other usual suspects ... ;-) are forwarded
immediately. If it doesn't match, it's sent to the moderators (Ed,
Jaap and me) for manual approval (or dismissal if it's pure
spam). Bill sent the message from a different address than the one
he's subscribed with, so it was caught in the moderators' filter
waiting for manual approval, which was done when I just happend to
take a peek in my mailbox, even though I'm on vacation. (Seems like Ed
and Jaap are too. ;-). This slows down a few messages, but believe me,
there's a fair amount of spam out there that _doesn't_ hit you thanks
to this.

So, if you want speedy transport, make sure you use the right sender
address. I'm of course quite willing to change the policy if there are
strong voices for it.
