[at-l] OFF TOPIC Re: Delayed / Missing messages

[ryan@hack.net (Ryan K. Brooks)]

The servers are VERY busy these days...  I've recently had to split the
delivery function on to a seperate box.

The biggest problems that delay delivery of specific messages are folks with
domains that don't resolve.   This really confuses the queue handler, and
can lead to multi hour jam-ups of individual emails.   99% of the time,
things are fine- but sometimes a message can get delayed like this.
