You need to consult the LISTSERV log to see exactly when the message was actually approved. The 2 hours could simply be a delay in the approval process. Note that the approval request email could have been delayed (not shown here) getting to the approver and then again getting back to LISTSERV (also not shown here). Note that you can approve such messages via the LISTSERV WWW Interface with only a few seconds delay, so you don't need to rely only on the approval email. If the approval was made shortly after LISTSERV received the message at Tue, 5 Feb 2013 16:07:03 -0500 then the LISTSERV log would show what else LISTSERV was busy doing for the ~2 hours. The other delays are probably normal for your system. The ~2 min at the beginning (sender to LISTSERV) is maybe a little long but not abnormal and may simply be due to a large message size. The ~9 min delay in receipt of email back to your mailbox seems normal for the mailer being very busy with the x,000 emails it has to send out. Typically these are done in alphabetic order by domain (A-Z) and P (PAGEINC.ORG) is well past the middle of the alphabet so a delivery delay is normal for you. In terms of the other 2 email headers it seems clear that your system clocks on the various systems are far out of sync. For example, your email was delivered 2 min before it was sent: >My Header >***** >Received: from pls (192.168.100.23) by mail.pageinc.org (192.168.100.18) with >Microsoft SMTP Server id 14.1.438.0; Wed, 6 Feb 2013 10:42:21 -0500 >Received: by LSERV.PAGEINC.ORG (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 16.0) with spool id > 103130 for [log in to unmask]; Wed, 6 Feb 2013 > 10:44:25 -0500 This is of course impossible so the clocks must be out of sync. >My Boss's Header >***** >Received: from pls (192.168.100.23) by mail.pageinc.org (192.168.100.18) with >Microsoft SMTP Server id 14.1.438.0; Wed, 6 Feb 2013 10:58:13 -0500 >Received: by LSERV.PAGEINC.ORG (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 16.0) with spool id > 103130 for [log in to unmask]; Wed, 6 Feb 2013 > 10:44:25 -0500 I would take a look at the ~\Inetpub\mailroot\Queue folder for SMTPSVC. It may have a lot of mail in it going nowhere. This could cause delivery delays. i.e. I think your problems are likely to be in the SMTPSVC mailer, not in LISTSERV. ############################ To unsubscribe from the LSTSRV-L list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa-PEACH.exe?SUBED1=LSTSRV-L&A=1
