Thanks William, that is what I figured. The little guy loses again. 

Have a great day!

Tyler,

They very likely have some sort of peering arrangement set up, which would
speed up routing of mail. It is also quite possible that these ISPs
whitelist each other's known IP blocks, which would speed-up delivery by
giving them less tests to run. Add that to the fact that they are most
likely pulling the IP addresses of large ISPs out of their cache, rather
than having to do individual lookups for small ISPs, and you can see why the
big guys get what seems like preferential treatment.

I know it has been discussed many times before and we all know hotmail and
msn are terrible but why is it that I can deliver a message to my hotmail
account using yahoo or EarthLink and it shows up in 2 seconds but I can't
get it delivered through my Imail? Heck even dnsreports.com has had a hard
time connecting their email servers all day long. I am probably being
ignorant and there is preferential treatment for the big ISPs and email
services??

Oh well, how is that 2006 going?

Tyler
