This is a pretty weird one to dive into, but I'd like to hear if others
experience the same. I hate email forwarding, but I'm going to pretend
for a moment that I don't.
My customers often complain of Gmail being slow to deliver forwarded
email to them, despite Google receiving the email from us rarely more
than 5 seconds after we initially receive it. I can confirm it. In one
case I actually confirmed it in the headers and documented it:
https://mxroute.com/delayed-delivery-to-gmail/
In a more recent attempt just today, I confirmed it yet again but
without the gap in time in the headers. I could refresh Gmail on mobile
and desktop, no email. Several minutes after Google had accepted it,
they delivered it to the inbox. The headers would show timestamps
indicating that they had received it exactly when they said they did in
my logs:

Some of my customers are getting a bit belligerent over it, and it seems
quite obvious to me to say "There is nothing that I can do about this."
That doesn't stop them from demanding it though, it surely must be "my
problem." So I'd like to get the opinion of other experts. Do you
experience this? Is there some magic detail that influences this that
everyone is aware of but me?
