180704 2003-10-06 01:06:00 Some friends of mine have been emailing each other, and I am getting the replies to emails some HOURS before I get the original email. It is very strange. Noticed it happening on Friday but it seems to still be going on. No idea if it is to do with Xtra (my ISP) or my email server or what. The others use different ISPs.

Plus, one of the group received an email from me at 4:40am on Saturday when it was sent around lunchtime Friday.

Anyone been noticing anything funny? Or is it just me?

180708 2003-10-06 02:33:00 Oh, and I haven't received emails saying this thread has been updated, was in the neighbourhood and checked, so messages taking over an hour from IDG.
Good one.

So yep, I think they have a problem. :D

180711 2003-10-06 21:25:00 Yes, they are definitely having problems. Have just received this message from someone:

the xtra server is having trouble with emails - I've just received a batch (all from inside NZ) - that were sent to me nearly 24 hours ago. If you've replied to my email ........... then I haven't yet received it

180712 2003-10-06 22:58:00 Double trouble this morning

A couple of regular daily rates charts have just come through again for the second time today = I hope xtra don't expect us to pay twice as well or is it that they recognise that they are already charging us twice so are doing the job twice .....
