[AT] Timing tests

[Spencer Yost]

Since there are still other users with delays, I went ahead and performed a timing test.  Here is the timing test for Lane Freeman's " Allis Chalmers Model G decals" post originally sent by him this morning around 8:31 am EST.   The technical information follows after my signature for anyone that wants to check my work:

1 - Received at ATIS at 8:32:35
2 - Turned around by mailing list software and outgoing messages begin processing at 8:32:47
3 - All recipients without HARD errors (mailbox full, user unknown, etc) received their message by 8:57 am

This means the software delivered to all available mailboxes with 24 minutes. It does appear that some companies are at least sometimes queuing these messages instead of immediately delivering them to their customers.  I have no idea how long the wait in the queue will be though.   Refer to the log entry below for Mattias Kessen copy of the message for his mail server's response to see how queuing looks.  Most ISPs don't respond with "Queued" because they don't want anyone to know that they are queuing messages.  So the fact the response lacks "Queued" means nothing.   If the response says "Queued" then it was definitely queued.

So - will all AOL folks that received Lane's 8:32 message in more than 24 minutes PLEASE contact me offline at Spencer.Yost at Piedmontsystems.com  I would like to get a copy of your message's headers.
