Don, you don't need an expert. Read the things yourself.
For Don and anyone else who hasn't got the gumption to figure it out for
yourself, the headers have a series of "Received" headers. Each time the
message goes through an smtp server another Received header gets written,
including the time the message was received by that server. eg:
Received: from smtp.aon.co.nz ([203.21.31.218])
by matt.hosts.net.nz with esmtp (Exim 4.50)

If a message goes through smoothly the times at the end of the "received"
line will show the messages being passed within a few seconds.
Look for the big time gaps, and you'll see where the message was held up.
Simple. No expert needed.
