Apologies for eventual duplicates... Quoting Paul Stenquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Join the club, Paul! :-) The number of list oddities has indeed been on the sharp rise lately. I expect that spam is part of the problem, but I think it's not the only problem. >From here, the routing seems to have changed lately. When pinging the list server with NeoTrace!, the signal used to go this way: Norway -> Amsterdam -> New York -> Baltimore Baltimore is as far as NeoTrace! can follow it. Now, however, it takes a more complicated route: Norway -> Amsterdam -> New York -> Southwark (London, UK) -> Washington DC -> Baltimore The cumulative response time (latency) is effectively doubled by this, which could affect email transmission. Especially in high-traffic periods. Routing is in general determined by routing agreements between different ISPs and their network operators, which could contribute to explain why the problem is different from ISP to ISP.
