It may also be compounded by the human moderator queue responsible for 
letting first-time poster's messages through.  While we tend to 
whitelist senders so that future messages don't need a human review, 
there's still a good chance that several initial messages from a new 
poster all pile up until someone actually has time to flush the queue.

Email is an interesting medium - it has great resiliency to temporary 
network outages, but at the expense of no real-time tracking and 
sometimes out-of-order delivery or or lengthy delays due to exponential 
back-off queuing choices at any number of hops along the way.
