[ If you don't grok qmail or Postfix, then feel free to skip this message. ]

Argh! The following message just arrived at the list a full 26 hours after
I sent it. Something is grossly wrong, and I'm trying to isolate the
problem.

My understanding of email headers is pretty limited, but if I'm reading this
right, a qmail process at my ISP took over a day to hand the message off to
the Postfix process at AbiSource, which then sent it out 2 seconds later.

Is there enough information here to help diagnose which end might be having
the trouble? Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks,
Paul
