The only issue I am aware of ATM is that the news->email gateway

it but you should be aware of this.

The half of the gateway that reads news messages and sends them as
emails runs as a cron job every five minutes. If the message has hit
our host by the next run, that should be the biggest delay.

IIRC we had an email exchange about the phenomenon a few weeks ago and
agreed that the biggest part of the delay was not in the gateway but in
the NNTP path from the posting site to the GW’s news server. There’s
probably nothing we can do about other than changing the news provider.
But I believe someone mentioned that this is not easy because news
provider generally prohibit this kind of mirroring business in their
rules.

Kind regards

If I had usenet service, I’d probably use comp.lang.ruby instead.

Hmm… how long are those delays? Summercool posted messages from
comp.lang.ruby about 6 hours ago that still aren’t showing on ruby-
talk.

Can you point me at the message you are referring to so I can see
what happened to it? Thanks.
