Nope, the only posts that get moderated are the ones where the poster 
has not subscribed to the list (or is using a different email address 
than the one they signed up with!)

Remember email is not a high priority message type on the internet. The 
suggested SLA for delivery used to be 48 hours but I believe current 
recommendations say 24 hours. So even though mail usually gets there 
much faster than that you shouldn't count on it. (Note that if you are 
using corporate "email" like Microsoft Exchange that's not really email 
at all, just corporate messaging which is nearly instant!).

And of course email is not guaranteed delivery either so it might
never get there - if a server gets busy it's quite within its rights to 
just throw all the email messages away...! And the nature of the 
internet is that your mail may be routing through somebody's old
50MHz 486 PC server somewhere in Uzbekistan or Mongolia...

Having said all that, I rarely see a post to tutor take more than 20 
minutes to get onto the gmane newsfeed that I use from the list server.
