Re: Delayed email (sent through QtmmSendMail, either directly or via MMail)

OP said " We have our work email through GMail.".

That leads me to believe they should also be sending email through GMail
from their IBM i.

Right now they're not using a Mail Router/Service at all. in 99% of cases,
that is wrong. That's where I was coming from.

I would be looking at the "real" message headers (in outlook they are
called "internet headers") for both a delayed and an undelayed email to see
if there is any clue there.

OP is (or seems to want to) use GMail. That's SSL or TLS. Not port 25.

There are some mail services that still allow you to use port 25 without
SSL or TLS, but most do require authentication (ie, User and PW).

That Telnet example is a good example of how emails used to be sent with an
Exchange server with no authentication or encryption and doesn't apply to
most shops today. Or it shouldn't.
