Smokes, that ain't pretty
From the headers of a mail I just got:

Translation for non-propellerheads: Someone with a
Google
Gmail
account emailed me on August 22. It took eleven seconds to get from Gmail to
Debian (once you consider the different timezones), but Debian's mail system
took until today, November 5, to deliver it to
Comcast, my ISP.Yikes.
So if you, anonymous reader, happened to have emailed me lately and are still awaiting a reply ... please consider the possibility that I may not have received your mail yet.
I should add that the underlying problem has been rectified at Debian's end as one of our hard-working admins stated yesterday.
