Mail delays - was Re: Sorry about my mails

Don't think that's the problem. Mail is being held up at cobalt.reboltech.com for 4-5 days on occasion. Holger may wish to comment. -- Graham Chiu

Oh occassion, I've seen this behavior, too, with some of my messages. Well, I can't state which server it was, however, but it wasn't my ISP's fault, I know that much.

The one mail you followed up to, saying it was delayed, was received on May 17 and forwarded by the mailing list server into the outbound queue within a few minutes. I received it within about half an hour. If it took longer for you then the delay most likely occured because cobalt.reboltech.com could not contact your ISP's mail server. It is pretty much impossible to tell afterwards exactly where the problem is (our end, our ISP, your ISP, the backbone etc). -- Holger Kruse [holger--ukiahmail--net]

Hi Holger, Perhaps the problem is with your ISP? The message in question: http://www.escribe.com/internet/rebol/m22599.html was received by Escribe on the 22nd May. I also got it on the 22nd May. But the headers that I have for this mesage suggest that cobalt.reboltech got it on the 16th May, which is the day I posted it. I wonder if anyone actually got this message before the 22nd May... that might give a clue as to where the holdup is occuring.

I believe the email in question is copied below. As you can see from the headers, I received it mid-day on the 17th. Weirdness! -jn-

Hi Joel, A number of other people report long delays in mail being sent to the list so I guess this confirms that the problem is with RT's ISP's smtp server, or downstream from there. That you got the mail on the 17th would suggest that the list server is working correctly. -- Graham Chiu
