The server that the mail list is on handles all the university incoming
traffic and runs the spam and virus checking.... I have seen the
delivery of mail take over an hour if it needs to go through the spam
checkers and there is a virus storm going on...I used to have some stats
of the amount of data they dealt with and threw away as spam...It was huge.
Don't know about this case because I got lost in the change of timezones
looking at the headers.

Granted, shit happens, but when it happens enough to be identified, then
surely it is a problem that needs attention?

Me too.
Generally I find email communication to be instant (or startlingly fast),
but I don't mind (or care) if I get messages out of order due to a delay
somewhere.
