Have a look at the headers for one of your messages when it finally gets through. Look for the various "Received:" headers; these will tell you which servers your message went through and when. Be careful that some of them may be in different time zones, so you probably want to convert them all into, say, UTC. Look then for a large gap between hops. That will be your problem. As to why the message got held up, it may be any of a number of reasons: Virus/spam checking, the server was temporarily offline, etc etc. The nature of e-mail is that it may get hung up somewhere - most times it goes straight through - but there's no guarantees. -- Darac Marjal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
