(I know I’m not IlyaShpitser, but better my reply than no reply.) I have several papers on the arXiv, and the very first time I submitted one I remember it being automatically posted without needing endorsement (and searching my inbox confirms that; there’s no extra email there asking me to find an endorser). If you submit a not-obviously-cranky-or-offtopic preprint from a university email address I expect it to sail right through.
Because they’re so small, I feel like their policies can be really inconsistent from circumstance to circumstance. I’ve got a couple papers on arXiv, but my third one has been mysteriously on hold for some months now for reasons that are entirely unclear to me.

How long ago was this? I believe the endorsement for new submitters requirement was added ~6 years ago.

Well, I’ve just managed to put a paper up on arXiv (a different one that’s been in the file drawer for years), so that works.

My first submission was in 2012. I’m fairly sure I read about the potential endorsement-for-new-submitters condition at the time, too.
