[Metadatalibrarians] Metadatalibrarians messages have odd timestamps

[Clay Redding]

Hi Karen,

It happens because the listserv software quarantines a lot of the  
incoming posts as a measure to stop unwanted spam, etc. (of which we  
get a lot).  Occasionally, real posts will get filtered also for  
numerous reasons: based on the type of attachment found on a message,  
non-subscribers sending legitimate and pertinent messages to the  
listserv, sending a message to too many recipients at once, etc.   I  
go in periodically (schedule permitting) and release the legitimate  
messages and delete the quarantined spam.  The odd time stamp you're  
seeing is the real time that the message was submitted to the  
listserv -- not the time that I released it.

The only way to fix this is to relax the configuration, or have more  
moderators release the messages beyond just myself.  I'd prefer the  
latter, given the limited amount of time I can devote to the list.

Depending on your client, of course, you could also solve this by  
setting up a filter for metadatalibrarians messages and routing them  
to their own folder outside of your inbox.  That would lessen the  
amount of hunting you'd have to undertake compared to your inbox, I  
would assume.

Hope this helps,
Clay
