I've noticed that the mailer seems to have severe "hiccups" in delivering email updating me of subscribed threads. This also affects the DT mailing list as well, regularly ("Daily Defense News Update").
This does not seem to be an issue of the DT server itself, but rather of your provider's SMTP server.
As an extreme example, i received a subscribed thread email today with the following timestamps in the header:
From the above, that email sat in the queue of that mail server for 4 months, which seems a bit... crass.
And it's not like it's only that one, it's a pretty regular occurence.
Might have to do with your smtp provider's spam settings?
Note 1: I'm currently subscribed for email updates to about 520 threads on DT. All subscriptions are set to "instant".
Note 2: The above example is for this post, to verify that it's not just some timestamp issue.
