But I am not with Xtra....so I don't think its that Dennis. If I send an email from work or from hotmail to myself, they are almost instantly sent to me, so that kinda blows that theory.
It depends on the mailserver/listserver that is being used. I know with my mailserver, the listserver on it tends to be a little bit slow publishing a message because of what reason I don't know, but its def. slower than the mailserver. So these issues might just be a software problem...its hard to say.

Furthermore, you are on Xtra - their email service (If you can call it service) is unreliable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Like Magic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 8:45 AM > Hi, > Is it my machine or a mail server somewhere causing the mail from the > list to arrive in a completely random order.
