[MacDV] Testing 1-2-3

[Peter Tattersall]

I agree - it looks as though there is a definite problem. Prior to  
your first message on 8 May the delay between the original 'date sent'  
timestamp and 'date received' timestamp was a matter of minutes, but  
all through May the interval has been steadily increasing. It affects  
every piece of mail, no matter who the sender might be, so it looks  
very much as though something is wrong on the server end. Once the  
server deigns to send the mail out, delivery is quick, so the list  
server, rather than any associated mail server, is what seems to be at  
fault.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the  
most discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny.'
