[Reader-list] Mails blocked by SARAI Reader-List

[Britta Ohm]

Dear Kshmendra,
thanks. Yes, I'm quite sure they are not actively moderated, even  
though the message you get is 'Your mail is being held until the list  
moderator can review it for approval', so I wonder what this review  
process consists of. If it is systemically/electronically, the  
arbitrariness with which mails get through or rejected - because we  
never get a result of this 'review process' - should be a concern. And  
if it is indeed personal, all the more.
