Re: make check never finishes

[Soren Stoutner]

Sergiu,

Within a few minutes of my sending of the third email that was also sent to 
mailman@gnu.org all three emails went through, posting both to the archive at 
https://
lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2023-05/threads.html[1] (none of them were 
there at 
the time I sent the third email) and coming back to me as a subscriber of the 
list.  They all 
posted with the original send time, leading me to believe that they were stuck 
in a queue 
somewhere.

18 hours is too long of a delay for any appropriately functioning graylist.  
Even though I did 
not receive a reply back from mailman@gnu.org, the timing leads me to believe 
that 
someone read that email and fixed some configuration or filtering problem on 
the mailing 
list server.
