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.

...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).
