I changed my preset for all user group lists a while ago because of problems (at mailman.lug.org.uk and lugog.org.uk among others) which were delaying messages. Often user group mailing list messages are cries for help and sometimes it's important that messages get to the recipient fast (directly), as well as fairly reliably (by the list).
Very unlikely for this list to suffer such delays as it's run by a competant person (*waves at Noodles*), on a reasonable box... For really slow lists, see Brighton LUG... quite often 10 mins before a mail gets through that.
That's not correct. The ALUG lists have greylisting enabled on them, so there is a potential delay before a new poster to the list will get a message through.
I can't say I really think that anyone with an urgent time critical enquiry should be expecting their local LUG list to answer it. If 10 minutes delay matters that much it simply doesn't seem the right place to ask.
