Problems with delayed emails

**Sgt. Slaughter** · 05-07-09, 01:23 PM

Anyone else having delayed emails from the server? I'm set up to get auto-emails from subscribed threads. I'm getting emails today from posts that happened yesterday. Yesterday, it was posts from the day before. The emails haven't even been in chronological order.

I deleted all cookies and signed in again, but it's still happening.

Am I screwing something up in my settings here?

I have not noticed the issue, but staff will keep their eyes on it.

**Sgt. Slaughter** · 05-07-09, 02:57 PM

Thank you, SIR!

As will I....

**MacLean** · 05-07-09, 03:46 PM

Don't call me sir, Sarge - I work for a living.

**Sgt. Slaughter** · 05-07-09, 03:49 PM

Doh!

My bad, homie!

Post #14 just got sent to my email. http://officerresource.com/forums/f5...36/#post445947

Posted at 1112 today, but I just received it around 1520. I've been receiving other messages in a timely manner. Don't know if this will help y'all or not.

Post #16 just received. http://officerresource.com/forums/f5...36/#post445975

Posted at 1353, received it at 1800. Had already viewed the thread a couple times. Still getting others from other forums in a timely manner.

FYI, there has been no issue so far with anything from O/R going to my Spam folder. Everything has, and continues to, show up in my inbox.

Frickin' frack. Time stamp on that post is 1833 I think. I got it at 1900.

Just tryin' to help y'all out.

Everything for me is coming right through.

I suspect it's your email service, there may be lag on their servers. If you have another account, try changing your email to it and see if it has any effect.

**Sgt. Slaughter** · 05-07-09, 10:20 PM

The two other boards I go to are still instantaneous. I just now got a notice from O/R of a PM that was sent at 1515 this afternoon. It was received at 1920.

I'll change email addresses and see if that doesn't fix it.

**Xiphos** · 05-07-09, 10:22 PM

I'm curious to hear if it changes or not.

**Sgt. Slaughter** · 05-07-09, 10:24 PM

Now see, I haven't changed it yet and your last post was sent right away. Like it's hit or miss....

**MacLean** · 05-07-09, 10:24 PM

My notices are being received rapidly.

**Xiphos** · 05-07-09, 10:28 PM

Mine are set up for forwarding and I get them fast. I don't think it's the site, I think it has to do with what's between our site and his computer. Check the headers on one of the emails that took forever to get to you and see when it was sent by the original sender (OR.) That will tell you whether it's a problem with the site sending it or something in between.

**Sgt. Slaughter** · 05-07-09, 10:32 PM

This is the header from the PM posting at 1516 or so. I got it around 1920.

I will delete this shortly due to me email addy being on there. If you could, copy/paste for eval, please.

**Sgt. Slaughter** · 05-07-09, 10:34 PM

FYI - I changed email addys to check it out. I JUST NOW received an email for maclean's last post at 1924 my time. This again is after I changed the addy's.

**Sgt. Slaughter** · 05-07-09, 10:36 PM

I'm not a computer genius, but it seems like it's being delayed as it's routed through the server. My original email is a yahoo address as is O/R's. It's just not working correctly. Hell, I even got a NEWER notification of Xiphos posting here, THEN got an older post from this same thread a little bit later.

**Xiphos** · 05-07-09, 10:38 PM

I edited your email addy.

**Sgt. Slaughter** · 05-07-09, 10:45 PM

Coolio. That works!

Well, I'm checking out for the evening. Hopefully, this will give some "techy" person something to do!

**Xiphos** · 05-07-09, 10:45 PM

It looks to me like the email is generated at the right time but yahoo doesn't receive it until several hours later. I don't know if it's sitting on our host's server or somewhere along the way. I tend to think it's the route to your yahoo that's gumming up the works. If it were our server or host it would likely affect all of us. But once it leaves our server the message is going to take a different route for each of us depending on the destination.

In fact one of those routes to you may be gummed up and sitting on the emails, while a secondary route to you is working fine. That would explain why some come through fast while others are hung up.
