Why are my posts so delayed??
Just curious,
Can anyone tell me why there seems to be a delay of about 12 hours
between posting a message and seeing it appear on the list?
It makes it really hard to contribute to a thread if the discussion
is long over by the time my response to the original message appears...
Or is everyone seeing the same time delay?
by my calculations this delay corresponds to roughly what I would
expect if the list server was on Uranus..
For example here is a message posted at 18:00 yesterday evening, and
I received it back through the list at about 6:00am the following
morning.
Looking at the headers, I seem to have received the original message
at 10:00GMT when it was sent at 21:00GMT the previous night. The first
reply was dated 01:00GMT, and I received it at 16:00GMT. That looks
like the first respondent was seeing a four hour delay.

Finally, here are the extracts from the headers on the original
post, which identify the principal source of delay as occuring
between receipt of the message by murphy.debian.org, and
forwarding to my host some time later...

For what it is worth, I am sending this at about 10:35GMT (11:35BST). What
delays are other people seeing?
