Hi Steve: I have asked on list how to read headers in outlook 2013 since googling I couldn't find something that worked. I am only on 3 or 4 lists but don't get any delays. Most things are posteed in a matter of seconds. I do get messages from one list that seems to filter spam but even that list seems to be pretty fast but then I have not sent anything categorized as spam so cant speak to that. I had a couple of e-mails to the talk we list that took 2 or more days to post, at least to get back to my in box. I did not check when they hit the WE Talk archive list at the time so am just living with the situation for now. I did notice there are a whole lot of e-mails on the archives list and wondered a little if that may be a part of the problem. Anyway, it is not the same as the other lists I am on but if you are getting similar results on other lists then I guess it is what it is based on the provider and service levels. Rick USA

For example, my ISP sends maile through a spam filtering service and there are multiple servers. Mail that I get in a particular period of time has been split up and sent through separate servers and then it gets sent to me after that. The time it takes for mail to get to me is going to vary based upon the load on the particular SPAM filtering server it went through. I looked at my message headers and actually reported long delays on a SPAM server to my ISP. So that is one variable. MailMan, the list server used, can also cause delays. I cannot speak to how the Window-Eyes list is configured, but in other situations I know of, Mailman generates a separate message to each user who is subscribed to a list. If you have a lot of list traffic and a lot of members, this can add up to thousands of emails per day fairly easily. This can cause maile to trickle out to some degree as well. At least one of your messages that you said had been delayed for a long time I remember seeing more or less in the correct context. At the very least, the delays you are seeing may not be seen by everyone equally. If you are really bothered by this, you might want to look through your message headers to see if you can determine for certain where the delay is. You could find, as I did, that it was within my ISP's system. It could also be that there is still some fine tuning needed on the new list. The answer may not be as obvious as you feel it is, though.
