We have also noticed the same thing happening on our qmailtoaster server. Some mail comes through with a delay varying from minutes to a few days. I usually use the squirrelmail webmail to view the mail and it shows the message was delayed because it gives the time the message was really sent, but puts it in the order of when it was received. For example, I receive a message from yesterday but it shows up today (with yesterday's day and time) in the middle of other current emails from today (I normally have my emails sorted by date with the most recent emails at the top). I understand from the comment below that we can re-order/re-sort the mail by clicking on the date in squirrelmail. But my real question is how can I troubleshoot to determine what is delaying receipt of the mail and how can I correct it? This mail is NOT from new senders, so it is not the delay of Spamdyke. The same sender's mail is not always delayed. The amount of the delay for various emails can vary for the same sender as well. Thanks in advance for any help in troubleshooting this.
