Exactly Robert. I am on Paradise, but ALL my emails come STRAIGHT to MY mailserver NOT to Paradise's mailserver and NOT to Xtra...MINE....which sits right beside me. So in my situation, the emails are not being effected by Xtra or Paradise, so sorry guys you cant blame them for the slowness of the email messages. I have watched the logs, and it takes less than a second from when I receive an email to when it goes into my inbox. The issue IS, the time it takes to GET the email from the list.
So, here is a test. I am sending this email now, its 1:41pm Give or take a min for it to get out of my system and back in again.....who gets it first? Maybe you can reply with the time you received it and what time you sent your reply, that way we might get a picture of lengths of time it takes to get emails...etc. Jeremy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert martin Sent: Thursday, 22 April 2004 11:52 To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Offtopic List Subject: Re: [DUG-Offtopic] Random mail message order This is a great example.
