Notifications of posts in threads to which I've subscribed seem to have a variable delay. Some appear almost immediately, while others arrive up to 18 hours later.
Is this a DIYaudio issue? I've not noticed delays of emails to me from other sources.
This is not a complaint, just an observation.

It does that to me too. Notifications can often be an hour late and sometimes longer. I assume there is a queue somewhere (or more than one) and post notifications are treated as low priority so sit in the queue while other messages get processed more quickly.
Interesting, thanks for the feedback. Likely not to be changed before we move forum software. We use Sparkpost for sending emails, and any delays are likely between them, and your host (or its anti-spam queue).
In principle, you can clock who held-up the mail by reading through the gibberish in the header which most mail clients hide.
I used to have to do this for pay and it was a tough buck.
Also a mass-mailer may be re-writing headers and losing time-stamps (I dunno).
For the curious, a note from my mom (read bottom-up):

Comcast to DCA took zero seconds.
DCA to Google took 27 seconds (you have to account for time-zones, especially when mail is delayed significantly).
To see detailed headers: in FireFox, Ctrl-U. In Gmail: 3-dots icon, "Show Original". Members who get "late" emails can try to pin the blame by reading this gibberish.
I just checked a newsletter from author LB through Vresp service. It does not indicate when Vresp got the letter from LB. There must be a delay (<1sec) as Vresp re-writes all of LB's links so they can track and report how LB's readers click his newsletter links. From Vresp thru Gmail to me was only a few seconds, this time. There does not seem to be any header indicating that, as a newsletter, it can be handled low-priority (it might be polite if it did).
