Re: Why is there a 4-8 hour lead time for my messages to appear?

No sh!t on that SOBIG garbage.  Our virus scanning has strapped over two 
thousand sends.  A local wire manufacturer (not related) has shut down 
operations because of it.  Our company head thinks running our email on 
Notes on an iSeries with Trend's virus scanning is pretty cool.

One other thing to consider, at least at the present time, is that a lot 
of mail servers (mine included) are working a WHOLE lot harder than 
normal with Sobig and it's variants making the rounds.

On my system, every message that is received from the outside is virus 
scanned, spam scanned, and then processed.
