John:
 
Here is some abstracted info from a test debug distribute from
listserv@psuvm for the list of addresses that your provided:
 
GEOG.UBC.CA                    goes to UTORONTO (003)
OCGY.UBC.CA                    goes to UTORONTO (003) - single recipient
UNIXG.UBC.CA                   goes to UTORONTO (003)
 
 UTORONTO: MCGILL1  UTORONTO
 
Since the above line means: to reach the UTORONTO LISTSERV host, you
first send a LISTSERV-distribute JOB (via the LISTSERV Distribute
Backbone) to LISTSERV@MCGILL1, which then in turn sends a JOB to
UTORONTO.
 
Bitnet node wise, that is
 
psuvm <-> mcgill1 <-> utorvm <-> utoronto
 
These '<->' means that the bitnet (adjacent) route is symmetrical
(sometimes they are NOT :-( ).
 
Now LISTSERV@utoronto sends all *.ubc.ca "stuff" to its local SMTP
gateway:
 
 From UTORONTO(MAILER): *     Host           Server      Punching  Msg  Error
  Avg    Max   Total
 From UTORONTO(MAILER): *  (or alias)    Node    Userid    Exit   count count
 cards  cards  cards
 From UTORONTO(MAILER): * ============ ======== ======== ======== ===== =====
 ===== ====== ======
 From UTORONTO(MAILER): * .UBC.CA      UTORONTO SMTPBLK2 BSMTP    00012 00000
 
The DNS for ocgy.ubc.ca is a little convoluted (4 authoritative Name
Servers, but all consistent).  ocgy.ubc.ca mail is really handled by
 
       MX      9 hub.ubc.ca.
       MX      7 nessie.ocgy.ubc.ca.
 
with the preferred host being nessie.
 
With regard to followup messages from you, the reason PSUVM does NOT
show up in the RECEIVED lines is because PSUVM did not actually send the
mail item directly, but UTORONTO's LISTSERV did (this gets back to the
Distribute Backbone).
 
Reviewing the RECEIVED lines that you provided, it is "clear" (assuming
approx. accurate clock synchs) that it took 6.5 h for your message to
reach the UTORONTO MAILER (aka @vm.utcc.utoronto.edu), then 14 h to
begin processing on the SMTP VM at the same site!  Once it had begun
processing there, "nessie" received it a short time later (OK, earlier
if you don't take into account PDT vs EDT and the slight difference in
clock setting errors).  Nessie forwarded on to NARWHAT in an expeditious
fashion.

The single biggest time lost is within utoronto.  Wonder if something
needs re-booting or a priority changed?
