This particular mail of yours was delayed for an hour due to
greylisting; this happens the first time you try to send mail to the
list from a particular host (vms173001.mailsrvcs.net in this case).  I
haven't seen any instances recently of mail taking any more than that,
and for folks who aren't greylisted it should only be a minute or two.

If you are routinely seeing round-trip times of "hours", please send me
a copy of the headers for one of the offending messages and I will take
a look at it.
