[Solved] Mail Delay

[r0nmlt]

It started off yesterday (probably whilst the updates were being done). I am getting really old mail delivered to my mailbox!

 

This is the header of one such email:

What do you think is going on??? Is there a way to ping the queues in future so emails don't get stuck like this?

Did you received these emails at the time they were originally sent (in March for this one), or is this the first time you have ever received this email?

[r0nmlt]

No I never got them. They all came through now. This inflow now stopped but it kept on going for about 3-4 days. Say from the 14/05 - 17/05.

[Ice IT Support]

I have no idea why it would do this; that is very bizarre. Do you receive emails you send now on time?

[r0nmlt]

Now it is working flawlessly as usual. It was only this time that it happened. I don't think we can replicate the behavior and therefore I dont think tracing what happened is possible.
