Bon Matin all, I have a strange problem and I think it is more common but was just unotice until recently... That would explain "replies" appearing before "originals" on the list ... This posted 5 posts 4 of them were delivered within minutes, one of them stayed at Brown for 7 hours ... Now I know it could be a problem at Brown between their VM machine and the outgoing gateway. Waht I don't understand is a message received by BROWNVM ends up on "listserv.brown.edu" apparently via "stanley.cis.Brown.EDU" without a specific Received: line ... So I have no way of knowing if the message was delayed by LISTSERV processing (or a trouble on the VM running) or if the delay is a netweork/comm's problem at Brown... Any other list owner out there with random exceptional delay ? or any insight as to what the cause may be aside what I already mentioned ? Am I correct in assuming that the delay is pprobably caused by a comm's error on the mailfile transfer and that the mailfile was set aside for X hours before it was retried ? Does LISTSERV have a "standard" delay time for comm's error ? -- Eric Paul-Hus , BLUES-L ------ Message in Question Received: from listserv.brown.edu by indyweb.cgocable.ca via ESMTP (951211.SGI.8.6.12.PATCH1042/940406.SGI.AUTO) for <[log in to unmask]> id UAA02974; Thu, 6 Feb 1997 20:16:30 -0500 Received: from stanley.cis.Brown.EDU (stanley.cis.brown.edu [128.148.128.155]) by listserv.brown.edu (8.6.10/8.6.10) with SMTP id TAA15788; Thu, 6 Feb 1997 19:52:28 -0500 Received: from BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU by BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU (LISTSERV release 1.8b) with NJE id 2416 for [log in to unmask]; Thu, 6 Feb 1997 12:19:52 -0500 Received: from BROWNVM (NJE origin SMTP@BROWNVM) by BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU (LMail V1.2a/1.8a) with BSMTP id 8470; Thu, 6 Feb 1997 12:19:52 -0500 Received: from inet.lasierra.edu by BROWNVM.brown.edu (IBM VM SMTP V2R2) with TCP; Thu, 06 Feb 97 12:19:50 EST Received: from [206.17.219.17] ([206.17.219.17]) by inet.lasierra.edu (8.7.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA27614 for <[log in to unmask]>; Thu, 6 Feb 1997 09:22:08 -0800 X-Sender: [log in to unmask] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Approved-By: Don Cicchetti <[log in to unmask]> Message-ID: <v01540b04af1fc276546c@[206.17.219.17]> Date: Thu, 6 Feb 1997 09:23:10 -0800 Reply-To: Don Cicchetti <[log in to unmask]> Sender: Blues Music List <[log in to unmask]> From: Don Cicchetti <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Some Monday Mythology To: Multiple recipients of list BLUES-L <[log in to unmask]> X-Mozilla-Status: 0011 Johnny V said: (edit edit)
