ot: how to t/s TBird problems ?

[Chris Wensink]

Over the last several months we have seen what seems like large delays in email delivery as well,  we get emails at 11AM that are time stamped at 9:10.  I thought it was a networking issue, but I can’t be sure.  I wish I knew more about coding, to look under the hood to examine things further.
