Subject: *** ADMIN: Mail delivery order

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Folks:

I've investigated the mail delivery order issue and have come up with
some results.

I can confirm that, in some cases, mail is being delivered out of
sequence.

Here's the reason ... each message sent from midrange.com is sent to
multiple recipients at the same time ... sometimes all those recipients
are on the same domain, sometimes not. These messages are sent out on
multiple threads running at the same time.

If the server for one recipients on the batch is not responding, the
entire batch is delayed. Once the delay cleared (either the mail server
responds or my mail server gives up) it goes on to deliver to the rest
of the recipients.

Since the mail server is delivering messages on multiple threads, a
second message sent AFTER the first, might get delivered before the
first because the first message was delayed.

I do have most of the major mail providers (Gmail, yahoo, hotmail, aol,
at&t, etc) setup to deliver all in the same batch ... but even that
doesn't always get the messages delivered in the correct order. Oddly
enough, I've seen situations where message A gets hung up when
delivering to Yahoo while message B gets delivered.

There are a few tweaks I'm doing ... so keep an eye on things and let me
know PRIVATELY if things get better or stay the same.

david
