Hi,

regrettably i cannot contribute anything to your actual question.

But the question of mail delays can be answered out of my mailbox:

Your message from
  Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2021 12:07:03 +0000
arrived after 23.5 minutes at my (and your) mail provider's server:

  Received: from bendel.debian.org ([82.195.75.100]) by mx-ha.gmx.net
    (mxgmx014
 [212.227.15.9]) with ESMTPS (Nemesis) id 1MeAxp-1mNWTv0lWB-00bJHD for
 <scdbackup@gmx.net>; Wed, 08 Dec 2021 13:30:24 +0100

The delay seems to be a cooperation of Debian's server ecosystem
and linode.com.

At Debian:

is more than 15 minutes after

Before that, the mail spent a while on linode.com :

is more than 7 minutes after
