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

[Kevin Wright <kevin.wright@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

And I interpreted that to be that the OP (and their boss) 's work email addresses are through Gmail.

I agree that their AS/400 (V6R1!) is not sending email via Gmail. 

No worries.

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.
