Hi Mark. Allow me to Cc users@ on this discussion since perhaps  
others are experiencing the same trouble.

Thanks for moderating my messages through. I have been noticing my  
emails to the list appearing much later than I sent them, but I  
thought it was my mail server. Now I know that they were being held  
up in moderation, but I don't know why that would be, since I have  
been subscribed and receiving messages to that address (verified by  
the X-Envelope-To header).

I change my mailing list address quarterly, actually, to try to curb  
spam. Since Tigris refuses to obfuscate email addresses in their  
mailing list web archives, my Subversion list email addresses are my  
biggest source of spam.

I have now unsubscribed and re-subscribed and been told that it was  
successful (see forwarded messages below). I don't think it helped  
though because I sent a reply to a message (subject "Re: Screwed  
Revision Numbers in SVN") and it has not shown up yet 26 minutes  
later; previously, my replies would appear within seconds.

I do have a tigris.org account, ryandesign, but I had not linked it  
with my mailing list subscription address. I did not know that was  
possible to do, and it has not been necessary before. I have now  
added my current list subscription address to my Tigris profile and  
replied to another message (subject "Re: Once again: The $name$  
keyword") but it too has not shown up on the list 12 minutes later.

It did not show me as subscribed. I clicked the checkbox and  
submitted the form, and it sent me an email to tell me I'm  
subscribed. I had never used the web form to subscribe or unsubscribe  
before; I had just done it by sending email to the list server.

Then later I got a message that you've made me a trusted poster, so  
if nothing else did, hopefully that will fix it.

Tigris has been running an older version of CEE for a fairly long time
now.  It was upgraded to the latest version in early December.  In the
intervening versions a new Discussions system was created in CEE that
unifies web-based forums with mailing lists.  The previous ezlm
mailing list is no longer part of tigris.  Obviously the migration was
supposed to be smooth and mostly unnoticeable, but that has not turned
out to be the case on tigris.  There are a lot of old usage patterns
that are not working the same.

I believe this is being worked on.  There is a notion of a "trusted"
poster whose messages do not need to be moderated.  Subscribers that
do not have a tigris account are not getting this bit.  The moderation
system ought to allow it to be added, but it does not currently.  It
can be set via the web UI.  So if you want to go back to your old way
of using tigris, I can probably find your subscription and make you
"trusted".

There is some hope that this might finally be addressed.  With all of
these other problems we've had to absorb, we are using those as extra
leverage to elevate the priority of this.

I think once you do this you will become a trusted poster and not need
your posts moderated.

Yes, we discovered it was doing this last week and reported it.  I
believe it should be fixed in an upcoming patch.

I still cannot find you in the list of subscribers.  Try going to this
page, which let's you edit your subscription settings.  Uncheck and
check again if necessary to subscribe.

My first message has now been moderated through, but the From address  
was munged to be my primary Tigris profile address instead of the  
address I actually sent the mail from (the one under which I'm  
subscribed, and the one to which the mail was delivered). This was  
totally unexpected and not desired, and seems to run counter to  
Subversion's existing policy of not munging the Reply-To header:

http://subversion.tigris.org/mailing-lists.html#reply-to

I have now changed my Tigris profile's primary and sole email address  
to be my list subscription address, but the messages I have  
subsequently sent to the list are still not showing up. Should I try  
to unsubscribe and re-subscribe again?
