I have a friend who sends me mail from one of the ATT machines. These machines uses ATT.COM as their gateway. When I send her mail she gets them in half an hour to 45 minutes (may be an hour at the most). But when she sends me mail they take 6-7 or even 10 hours to reach me and they seem to come in lumps. Once somebody sent me an e-mail from ATT.COM itself and that too took such a long time. This has been a recent development...couple of weeks may be.. Does anybody have any idea about why the mail seem to move fast in one way and so SLOW in the other direction ? thanks a lot deeptendu -- ------ "Like a harsh neon streaking through the velvet darkness the whetted knife of Life tore its path through her Dreams"
