Consider that email from you to the list goes through at least 3 servers; your local
mail server, the egroups server, and then back to your server for delivery to you.
It can be more. If any of the communications between these servers experiences
problems, your email can be put at the end of the "retry" queue, depending on the
mail server program used. I find that if egroups has problems getting to my server,
for whatever reason, the mail gets delayed significantly. One interesting tidbit I
found is that if you log into the Egroups web page, it shows you the failures or
problems they have had trying to deliver messages to you. Perhaps it is this
logging that delays delivery ;)
