posting speed

[Ronnie Gauthier]

There are a few factors the effect the arrival/transmission time of email. 
Your ISP may que mail until it reaches a certain amount then send it all at 
once. The Internet is not a direct path to anywhere, therefore depending on 
traffic/bottlenecks/outages/peering problems your mail may get rerouted or
even help up inbetween your sending point and destination. The receiveing 
system mayy have requested that the email be resent at a later time due to 
system overload/failure. 

You may also be on the shitlist of some BOFH.
