Seeing where emails were delayed.

Normally, when an email is sent to the Mailing List, our servers process and send that message to your Subscribers quickly.

Sometimes, much time passes before they are sent. Sometimes, the delays happen before the email even arrives at Mail-List.com.

See below for ways to find out what happened.
