Why is any mail delayed for 15 minutes before onward transmission? Could be any of many reasons. System load, SMTP transmission failure, routing problems... the list goes on. > 2. Why do some users and not others experience this 15 minute delay? I haven't done any analysis, but I'd expect most if not all of us experience delays from time to time. For the case in question, it's not all of Ralf's messages that are being delayed, only those in the systemd thread. In fact, it looks as if *all* messages in that thread were delayed by roughly the same amount of time. My guess is extra processing for particularly suspicious looking messages. Or for the conspiracists out there, perhaps they were intercepted en route... ;) Cheers, Tom -- BOFH excuse #306: CPU-angle has to be adjusted because of vibrations coming from the nearby road
