Are bug system emails to exim-dev moderated or slow ?
I have noticed that emails from the exim bug system to the exim-dev list
can take well over a day to arrive:

Are these messages moderated, or is the delay purely something in hummus ?

Yes. Blame spammers.

Quite. There are occasional spates of link spam in Bugzilla, so to prevent
clogging the list with them and then having to resubscribe people who get
kicked out because their antispam system rejects the emails, updates from
Bugzilla are indeed moderated.

I usually process the queue once per day. Sometimes it may take longer than
that though.
