we've just received a bunch of nanog mail here at genuity that was delay *eight* hours between the time it reached merit.edu, and the time our mx host recieved it from merit, according to the headers. we've received external mail from all over the place all day with no apparent delay. has *no* one else seen any great delays in the messages from nanog? i don't think the packet loss has been that bad for 8 hours. :) -brett
I would say a lot of the delay is in packet loss.. with MW down, ME is really loaded at this time.. I get as much as 60% packet loss just pinging across the Ring. OUCH!

It's interesting to note the delay in the NANOG mailer. I don't know if there's any manual operation involved, but according to the headers, Rob posted this at 7:43, it was received at 7:43 pdt by MERIT, and shipped out at 8:15 pdt.
I guess we're lucky this isn't an operational list, where time might be important ;-)
Can we improve this?

Hello Brett - thanks for pointing out the mail slowdown. As it turns out, there were problems with Merit's SMTP service on Friday evening: our mail queuing file system filled up, and mail service was out for a couple of hours. Sorry for the inconvenience. To improve performance, we're in the process of moving mail to a new machine with more disk space. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Susan R.
