See my previous message on this thread. Without knowing more
about how their network is run and what their current message
delivery statistics are, all I'm seeing are a few complaints from a
few people that they're seeing deliveries sometimes take 15-20
minutes.
This could very easily fit within an extremely reasonable
delivery standard of 95% of all e-mail being delivered within five
minutes, and 99% of all e-mail being delivered within one hour.
I'm still not seeing a problem here.
