I think the lag originates with me. For some reason,
if I
use the server at work to send out STMP mail as originating with my
Earthlink account chances are most of the messages will be detained
somewhere along the way, whether just a few minutes or at times it's
been over a day. The actual hold appears to be done on the
listserver end though as the mail seems to exit our server normally.
Interesting... I assumed it was due to the list server machine being used
during the day for other tasks (or something else in the chain). Daytimes
(normal business hours), seems to have about an hour lag between posting,
and recieving (making a simply Q&A session take upwards of two hours to
complete). But at night, I notice the lag is much lower (sometimes only a
few minutes).
Just my unscientific, "feel" for it (can't say I have ever timed it or
looked at time stamps on the emails)
