It is likely a problem with the email services, and not your machine. I have
heard of numerous delay and lost message problems with these services. You
can also look at the complete mail headers to see how many hops it took to
get to your server and how long. According to SMTP every server that touches
a piece of mail must add its identity and a timestamp as it passes it along.
By tracing it along you will probably find where the delay is occurring.
