Along these lines when I signed up for the Google Groups I used my company email. That was fine but my host server seemed to have a problem with the sheer volume of emails that the developer's group generates. So I set up a gmail account and changed my profile to that. Might as well let Google take care of the volume. That was last spring and to this day whenever I post it's like they sit on it for a day. I know that when you first sign up and post they were supposed to sit on for a 24hrs but it has been months since I changed the email! Anyone else have this problem too?
