Are your emails slow arriving? I mean hours and days later

Some never arrived, it's two days later. An email from 5 miles away took 24 hours, sent via the biggest media companies. And confirmation not arriving on a major account. This is something new. Maybe related to DNS shakeup last week? feels like being throttled.

Didn't cause us any trouble, we were at the shop and picked up our cars when done, but still a little troubling.

And others on time. There are too many variables in the path between sender and recipient to figure out what's going on and what isn't (I have full mail headers to look at in messages, especially one that got delayed).

It just says that email cannot be relied upon to be prompt.
