Why does mail  distributed by LISTSERV to some European subscribers
(DGOGWDG1) take as long as 7 days from YORKVM1?  Mail sent directly
to the local MAILER  (not through LISTSERV) reach the same European
destination  within a few hours.  Apart  from the problem with busy
gateways, is there a lower priority  placed on small files and mail
items sent  from a LISTSERVer?  What can  be  done from LISTSERV at
YORKVM1 to provide a better  mail  distribution  service to foreign
subscribers?
 
I realize that there is/maybe a MAILER  factor involved in  solving
this problem but rather than have the  world  change  their  MAILER
I'm more interested in what I can do to improve the situation.
 
Thanks for all comments/suggestions/help.
