I've posted a (very) few replies in the last few weeks, all of which have
had a 4 to 8 hour lead time before they show up on the list.  A message sent
at 1:28 finally popped up at 5:31 today.

One other thing to consider, at least at the present time, is that a lot of mail servers (mine included) are working a WHOLE lot harder than normal with Sobig and it's variants making the rounds.

On my system, every message that is received from the outside is virus scanned, spam scanned, and then processed.

To see the kind of traffic that my server is handling, visit http://www.qtemp.net/ms/
