The techies at our hosting company have done quite a bit of testing regarding
the slow delivery of emails. It is surprising the results they found ----
-- all of the ISP’s investigated are deferring messages at their whim and will.
You might get the first email sent at 1:00pm within a couple of minutes. But
if a second message comes in at 1:01pm, the ISP could defer it. The delay time
varies and there does not seem to be a pattern.
Bottom line is – if you think messages are not being delivered in a timely
manner, contact your ISP. A delay of 3-5 minutes is normal. Messages that are
being deferred could also be getting lost in cyberspace.
Don’t expect to get a clear explanation from your ISP. Once they have your
money, you only get what they give.
Stay safe
