Subject:Re: Gmail Delays?

I apologize for my delay in replying to this question.  I have been
at a seminar on the other end of the country for the past few days.

Any delay that is being experienced is on Google's side.  I have both
my eoni account and my gmail account subscribed.  The mail comes in
fairly regularly on the eoni account and as others have reported, in
'clumps' from gmail.

There could be any number of reasons for this, but none that Tom or I
have any control over.  When we see this behavior at eoni, it usually
is an overloaded spam filter though we also see it when the border
systems are experiencing an extremely high volume of mail.

Nonetheless, unfortunately, there is no 'fix' on this end.  And given
the user cost of gmail, I suspect that getting Google interested
might take some doing. Mail delays can be complex problems to solve.

Regards,

Jim
