It sure is. I do remember messages appearing in minutes, but they are taking MUCH longer these days. (Unfortunately, I don't have a good definition of "these days" -- I don't know when I first noticed the slowdown). > > So what happened, is my ISP holding up the messages or is the debian > mail server sluggish.

If it really is that the list is busier and the mailserver taxed, then it's a sort of unfortunate catch-22 effect: when subscribers see a question post that has no replies, it's more likely to get a flood of replies, making the mail server even busier. I've noticed that happening a lot, too: certain questions get 5-10 responses, and I suspect it's simply because the early responses are getting delayed. good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume/
