Slow mail throughput
Hi,
Is this list supposed keep messages for six hours before sending them?
I sent a message at five tonight, and it has just been recieved (at 11pm).
I don't think it's the list, I'm pretty sure it's my email provider
(usa.net). I seem to be having a few problems with connecting to them
today.
Actually, I'm pretty sure it is usa.net - I have sent lots of messages to
myself and haven't recieved any back yet - but I think it could also be
something on my local system - I ran smailtest, it worked for local mail,
but the remote has yet to reply. I have sent myself a mail to my local
address (thomson.slip.vuw.ac.nz) and it worked.
Maybe the linux counter reply is slow - I tried an hour ago, it was
supposed to send to the local address here but hasn't. When I first set up
smail I remember the reply came in about five minutes.
Does this mean that usa.net is slow? I can also access it using a web
brower, and it does the same thing - slow messages.
I have been using usa.net for about a month and haven't had any problems
yet. I think I'll mail the administrator.
I don't want to change free email servers, as people now send to this
address, plus it is the only one I found that let me use pop - I use
fetchmail to download my mail.
Thanks for any help,
Tim.
BTW, if you reply to this at usa.net, I won't recieve it for hours, If you
reply to this within about seven hours, please reply to
tim@thomson.slip.vuw.ac.nz - I'm leaving the system logged on for awhile.
Thanks for any help,
Tim.
