I've not noticed time differences; as I'm a dialup user, they are mostly
irrelevant. However, I have random ordering of mail from many lists for as
long as I can recall. I assume some sendmail in the delivery path has a
transient problem, goes to the next which goes successfully.
the time differences you observer are likely due in part to different
sysadmins' perception of how often they should try to flush outgoing mail.
