    Hi everyone,



    It always seems to take a long time from the time I send a posting to the 
time it gets emailed back to me so I went looking for a reason..I noticed from 
the headers of recent postings from various members that it takes approximately 
2hrs 5mins from the time of the email is queued to the SMTP server by the 
mailinglist to the time it is received. 



    Is this delay experienced for other members? 



    I find it a little annoying, because the lack of immediacy means that often 
the problem is resolved by someone else but their solution is floating around 
somewhere in cyberspace, and also if it is happening to everyone then someone 
is sitting there waiting for hours for their problem to be posted and a 
possible solution to arrive.



    You can see from the following header fragment where the delay occurs:



    Received: (qmail 28351 invoked from network); 12 Oct 2010 01:11:49 +0200

    Received: from localhost (HELO ns1.dynamixs.nl) (127.0.0.1)

      by localhost with SMTP; 12 Oct 2010 01:11:49 +0200

    Received: (qmail 18193 invoked from network); 11 Oct 2010 23:08:43 +0200



    This seems to have been a problem only in this last year or so, it was 
quicker some time ago, a representative corresponding header fragment is:



    Received: (qmail 21728 invoked from network); 17 Jun 2009 10:29:26 +0200

    Received: from localhost (HELO ns1.dynamixs.nl) (127.0.0.1)

      by localhost with SMTP; 17 Jun 2009 10:29:26 +0200

    Delivered-To: [email protected]

    Received: (qmail 20315 invoked from network); 17 Jun 2009 10:29:01 +0200



    where it seems to have about a 25 second turn around, although around that 
time it was not as consistent.



    I can understand it being a little variable depending on server loading, 
but now it seems so consistent in the delay that I wonder if there is some 
other issue happening here.



    Regards

    Brian
