Now now. Calm down and READ YOUR MAIL.

When you send a message to the list that violates the list's policy, you 
get a message titled "Your message to Linux-il awaits moderator 
approval", with a precise explanation of why your message was not posted 
to the list immediately. I have just sent a 100K file as attachment and 
confirmed that this message IS received. Instead of spaming the list, 
all you had to do was read your inbox to find out why your message was 
not coming through.

Here is the message I got for my test message:
