That long of a delay is very unusual. Does your ISP have any thoughts on
where it all was sitting stuck? They might be able to tell you by looking
at the SMTP message headers.
On a (marginally) related note, I wonder if NASA will ever drop a few
Internt boxes on the Moon (with a permanent laser connection to Earth).
Round-trip speed of light to the Moon and back is only 2.5 seconds, which
would still be tolerable for a "crater cam" and all that. :) I wonder if
e-mail would get there in 1.25 seconds or 2.5 seconds? :)

What happens if a mail bounces, due to my mailbox being full, for instance? Does it go 'round and 'round (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
