Rejected posts are always acknowledged, and you'll usually get a reason as 
well (don't post in HTML, don't post large attachments etc).

However:

1) If your messages are in a moderation queue (and they may well be as a new 
member) then depending upon time zones and which moderators are online etc, 
it may take half a day or so before the message is seen and moderated.

2) If you post via the gmane newsgroup then there is a delay before gmane 
passes the messages on to the list.

3) If the list server is busy, or your ISP is busy there may be a delay 
before the message travels through the list and back to your mailbox, I've 
seen delays of up to 3 or 4 hours for my own messages to get back to me (via 
the list).
