Let me post the pertinent ones for you: Received: from sprite.real-time.com (lists.real-time.com [208.20.202.12]) by mail.igrin.co.nz (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id gAB4t6e17060 for <simon at igrin.co.nz>; Mon, 11 Nov 2002 17:55:06 +1300 Received: from sprite.real-time.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by sprite.real-time.com (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id gAB4mSA18505; Sun, 10 Nov 2002 22:48:28 -0600 Received: from max.bungi.com (max.bungi.com [207.126.97.7]) by sprite.real-time.com (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id g9FLNOK01059 for <rte-ascend at lists.real-time.com>; Tue, 15 Oct 2002 16:23:24 -0500 Received: by max.bungi.com (8.9.1/8.8.7) id NAA16745 for ascend-users-outgoing; Tue, 15 Oct 2002 13:55:26 -0700 (PDT) X-Authentication-Warning: max.bungi.com: majordom set sender to owner-ascend-users using -f Received: from rdaver.bungi.com (rdaver.bungi.com [207.126.97.23]) by max.bungi.com (8.9.1/8.8.7) with ESMTP id NAA16740 for <ascend-users at max.bungi.com>; Tue, 15 Oct 2002 13:55:25 -0700 (PDT) From: DPascarella at solunet.com Received: from smtpgateway.solunet.com(really [208.243.162.162]) by rdaver.bungi.com via sendmail with esmtp id <m181Yiq-001fE6C at rdaver.bungi.com> for <ascend-users at bungi.com>; Tue, 15 Oct 2002 13:55:24 -0700 (PDT) (Smail-3.2.0.94 1997-Apr-22 #237 built 2002-Jun-12) Message-ID: <719546A93D7DD511BA7800D0B7A87DF0E3B298 at trinidad.solunet.com> Notice sprite.real-time.com receiving the message from max.bungi.com on 15 October, and then the next step (presumably the mailing list softaware, posting from localhost at sprite.real-time.com) is suddenly 11 November ? Seems like almost a month to me, so the original poster was right. I sent a message to this list approximately 30 minutes ago, I have yet to see my own post come back, and this is not uncommon. (The message was accepted by rdavor.bungi.com 3 seconds after sending) I have to agree with Dennis, I'm also on about 10 different mailing lists and this is easily the slowest by far.
