Nemo also sent a message from gmail yesterday which took some
many hours to get there (the one on us going to the iw9p).
Something odd is happening to the list (and gmail?).

I'd say it has nothing to do with gmail. I sent a message too, but using 
my own SMTP server, and got delayed for almost 20 hours.

Metoo: about 15-20 hours, sent from .mac mail servers.

I suspect a more general problem.
I've noticed our spam load going up at work too...

Funnily enough, I recently read an article about
the possibility of "Internet brown-outs" in a few years
as ancient overloaded infrastructure hits it's limits:
maybe that was one of them:-).

Wikipedia on Bob Metcalfe: ...Metcalfe is perhaps best known for his 1995 prediction that the internet would suffer a 
catastrophic collapse the following year; he promised to eat his words if it did not. During his key note speech at the 
Sixth WWW International Conference in 1997, he took a printed copy of his column that predicted the collapse, put it in 
a blender with some liquid and then consumed the pulpy mass.
