Some ISPs do not process mail as received but batch process it every so many minutes. That is how it was done back in the days of uucp, but it takes awhile for some of these folks to catch up (grin).
How you have your mail client setup has an effect on it.
How the internet routes the messages has an effect. I have seen messages from nearby routed all the way around the world to me.
There are simply so many varibles in the way the internet works it is hard to say why things work out as they do.

I get that all the time: See replies to ~my~ posts, before my posts come up! It's a bit disquieting. Apparently, it may have more to do with your server than the list, or so I'm told.
I also notice that from time to time, some posts of mine come on list almost instantaneously, and others take quite a while, up to an hour. Again, server issue, not list issue.
I can't remember who told me that, but they were much more knowledgeable than me about such things...
cheers, frank
