If you post to a Wikipedia mailing list from a different address, please take the time to subscribe that address!
Reason:
The wikien-l list only automatically forwards posts to the list when you're subscribed to it. If you don't, it ends up in the moderator queue - amongst piles of V*agra spam. Where the mail from real people can easily get deleted accidentally!
If you want to post to a mailing list from an address other than your normal one, it's generally worth the effort to subscribe from that address too. You can set an option for 'no delivery'.
If you're subscribed, then your posts also show up straight away, rather than hanging around until someone spots them in the queue and lets them through :-)
